This was great to watch - Making a Uberti 1873

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

Well....you need to!

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

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.

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.
Added the URL to my library.

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.

The steps involved are exactly the same for the 1866 and 1876 as well.

Most interesting.

I really enjoyed watching this video, I found it very interesting and happy I stumbled upon it.
