I didn't like the old pics I had of my Uberti 45 Colt levers I took back in 2013 laying on the carpet, so a few months back I took a couple new ones outside 'in the wild'. I think they turned out nice so, on this cold wintry day, I thought I'd share as a nice picture of a good looking firearm warms my heart.
My Uberti 1873 Special Sporting Rifle:
My Uberti 1866 Yellowboy Carbine:
Both are fun shooters and with my 255grn X-Treme plated handloads they both feed slick as snot and shoot great. I chrono'd my most recent handloads last September and it turns out that my Rifle produces 1,209fps with them while my Carbine produces 1,163fps. I was a bit surprised that with a load of Unique powder charge in an 'under 14,000psi load', the bullets are still accelerating even out of the 24" barrel.
Both leverguns are great fun out in the woods with my Uberti Cattleman SA Army, also in 45 Colt but shooting some 255grn Elmer Keith style hardcast lead bullets, strapped to my hip.
