Making a Uberti 1873


Recommended Posts

Have not watched the video yet, but just looking at the picture, I'm pretty dang sure that's an 1866, not an 1873.

No wonder the 1873's cost so much.  That's a lot of fancy machining going on.  If it weren't for the Italian clones, I think a lot of us would be doing something else.

Did anyone notice that they NEVER show the gorilla that installs the mag tube cap? Interesting video though, thanks Buckshot!

And over torque all of those soft factory screws.

 

On the other hand, Guido the Gorilla may have been covering the SAA clone assembly line at the moment of filming.

BB, thanks for the post.
Very interesting to watch, especially the amount of CNC work (and programming) involved.

Nice video.  They skipped the forearm milling operations, which are eccentric and therefore MUCH harder to machine than the buttstock.  And the color case hardening process wasn't what I expected, But still interesting.
