Just looking for some input on a Navy Arms (Uberti) 1873 rifle in used but very good condition. The rifle is chambered in .45 Colt.
I have been offered one from an aquaintance. His asking price is $900.00.
Not knowing anything about Winchester reproductions, I would ask if those in the know considder this a fair price?
Secondly, the rifle appears to be in near mint condition, but has been fired. I noticed that there is a hole on the upper tang that is threaded for a tang site. There is not a screw in this hole. Is this normal, factory design, or was it added to the rifle? Should there be a filler screw?
Thanks for the info. I really like the looks and workmanship on this rifle, and am considdering buying my first 1873 reproduction.
