Mercy sakes, she's a purty thang
« on: June 10, 2013, 05:56:03 PM »
Just picked up my Uberti NWMP 1876 carbine in .45-75, and not only does she look great, she feels great in the hands and cycles like butter. Can't imagine how she'll feel with a few hundred rounds through her.  Now to cobble up some cases. I have an order in with Rocky Mountain Cartridge but they won't be hear until late June.

 :o

The pain!

Will post photos in the next day or so. My Spencer had to go away to finance the purchase. G'bye old friend.

Pitch, she comes up real nice. I was pleasantly surprised at how handy the carbine is, with the balance point one finger behind the receiver ring and yet enough mass forward to give a steady swing. Haven't weighed it but would guess 8 1/2 pounds or less. She'll feel good in the woods -- and even better when there's a cloud of BP smoke hanging in the air and a deer, bear or hog kicking its last in the fall leaves.

Dusty, still haven't shot her, but have some rounds loaded -- and just won the EBay auction for that original Winchester mould, thanks to your heads up. Owe you another beer, pard!

Damn and damn, I wish you hadn't posted that. Now I've got a serious craving for another gun and I'd managed to go for a whole six months without that happening. The only thing I don't like about my full rifle is that it's a bit awkward and heavy to drag around the bush. That carbine looks like the perfect solution, and man is it nice to look at.

Congratulations. Bet is shoots fine.
