Re: Winchester 1873 Short Rifle - .357. - anyone have one?

Might be delays from FN/Miroku/Winchester? I ordered my .357 this time last year and didn't see it until August.

I've little experience with Uberti stuff, but I'm pretty sure that if you like lever guns, you'll like the Winoku.

Try Cabela's if there's one in reasonable distance. I ordered mine through them. You'll pay close to MSRP, but I think that'd be pretty standard anywhere with limited quantity items like this. Shouldn't take too long to get it either.

Re: Winchester 1873 Short Rifle - .357. - anyone have one?

I've got the case hardened model in .357. Love it. Everything leverluver said as to fit, finish, etc. is right on. And mine shoots :D .
Probably going to pick up the .44/40 version at some point.

Re: Browning 1886 Tang Sight (advice needed)

Thanks for the advice guys. It is a Browning '86, .45/70. Any recommendations on a folding barrel sight? I like that solution better than a filler blank and currently have an empty dovetail that I need to fill.....

Browning 1886 Tang Sight (advice needed)

I have a Browning 1886, and just had a new Lyman No. 2 Tang Sight installed. Just looking at it, it seems I may need a taller front sight. Can anyone with some experience tell me if that is the case?

Re: Hello, Levergunners

The '73 is awesome. No safety, no floppy trigger. Smoooooth. Accurate to 50 yards (furthest I shot it). :D I got it in December, put ~150 .357 Mag rounds through it. Had a slight issue with the hammer binding against the bolt as the bolt slid back forward into the receiver. Sent it in to be fixed (f...
