Dusty, sorry to pick on you but that's what cowboys do, this is one like my only 1876, a Chaparral NWMP .45-60. A nice rifle but it had toggle link issues when I got it. My buddy and I eventually got the headspace right. The rt toggle link was too long out of spec which caused the headspace to be too small. The left toggle was fine. Guess Uberti just builds them, don't check them? I mean how hard is it to drop a couple of dummies in the gun the check things out. I'm still on hold on my Spanish Contract Carbine, it's been too hot to play outside here.
