If shit happened and it was the only gun I had left I would use the pitch fork instead.

A question on Uberti lever actions - not a make I've had anything to do with. Italian of course doing copies of old school lever models. Has anyone owned one or looked into these rifles? Seems to be original old school calibers and pistol rounds - no 30-30 - or am I wrong here. Be interested to hear about them if someone knows this make.

I had a Uberti 1866 in 44/40.Probably more of a enthusiasts hunting Rifle instead of anything serious,from memory the sights were pretty crap.
Having said that it was reliable and interesting to own.
I remember loosing a full box of 44/40 first time out with it,70 odd bucks a box back in the 90's.Ouch.

Can you get a carbon fiber stock for those cos then it would almost be fashionable although you still have to work the lever to make the semi auto function work and mag changes are a pain.

Chambered in 457WWC one mag load should do the trick! If one mag load don't take it down its probably time to start running ...... fast.

Listed yesterday on TM

Good practical gun if you want one suppressed as all the hard work has been done, and it hasn't been thrashed. [PS I have no association with this listing]
I would put a set of ghost ring sights on the drilled receiver.

I have two of those stacked in the safe. One is a spare for parts

Levers are a bit of an addiction. I would be keen to have a play with one of these.

Have been waiting for someone to mention it.

Here's mine.

1984 Marlin 336 Texan. 18.5 barrel.

Williams receiver peep sights are good and can be had pretty cheap from brownells

Do they do a side mount for a win94 pre '64? The only Williams peep I could find for the win94 was a top mount requiring further drilling and tapping of the receiver.

I will cast a vote for the 336, I have one in stainless and love it.

They are pretty easy to tinker with as well

I have just put XS sights on my 336. Front sight is brilliant. Not too enamored by the aperature. Even their smallest is large. Good sight picture for hunting, not for paper punching.
Minute of deer at 50m presently.

Lyman do one that needs no drilling
