1875 Uberti Outlaw

[grahng]

Ahhhh, another question from the question man to all the Heros and Villians out there in Levergun land.

Does the long triangular piece under the barrel serve any other purpose than increased support for this revolver?
I have not had a chance to handle this revolver to check it out for myself. Hence, my querry to you.

Looks like it'd make a dandy head-knocker.

+1, but I think it was simply a leftover from the 1858 design, strengthening the loading lever on the cap & ball revolver.

[KCSO]

It makes it LOOK like a Remington.

OK, I'm going off a lousy memory and what I read 2-3 years ago but I THINK it was a hold over from the 1858s AND a way to avoid patent infringement on the Colt 1873.

I keep thinking I read (maybe in one of Mike Venturino's books?) the early Remingtons were built without the rib and bore a strong resemblence to the Colt (well, it would be kind of hard not to I suppose). The solid rib was put in place to closer resemble the 1858 Remington, add strength and keep potential patent infringement lawsuits to a minimum. Plus it would make a dandy head knocker if someone got out of line.

Of course I've slept since reading up on the early cartridge firing revolvers so I may be all wet on this one...

It also acts as a housing for the ejector and cylinder base pin.


But, it could have had something to do with patent infringment because 15 years later the 1890 Remington didn't have it.

I have always liked that BP look,... just wish there was a 44mag made that could take modern pressures with a Bisley grip and hammer.

Pretty fancy Nate,... but no cigar.

I really like that old BP under barrel loading lever look.

I do too.
There are several convesions available but most have removed the loading lever/rammer. I liked the look so much I converted these two 36cal CB's to 38spec leaving the rammers.



The rammer actually has a function on this Remmie. It holds the ejector rod.
