Spencer Shooting Society / Replacement Rear sight for Army-sport
« Last post by EJLewis on Today at 03:37:36 PM »
Hi all.....the standard issue rear sight on my Chiappa/Armi sport spencer carbine leaves a bit to be desired.  Will a replacement sight like the smith enterprises model that is made for the old Marlins, that has a 3/8" dovetail work??  thanks

CAS City Classifieds / WTT/WTS: Uberti 1858 Revolving Carbine Target Rifle w/ 45acp Kirst Conversion Un
« Last post by antagony on Today at 11:10:31 AM »
I have a really cool revolving carbine in 44 by Uberti. It doesn't need an FFL for transfer. It also comes with a separate Kirst Conversion Unit in 45acp.

I'd like to trade for a 357/9mm Revolver, 1911 of equal value (like a Springfield Loaded), or 2011 lower. ($1100 trade value or $1000 cash) PM me your offers.
Here are some cool videos about the Uberti Revolving Carbine:
















Footage of my Uncle shooting it, it's very accurate:

I'll  just add -
I recently did my normal coil conversion, bolt block, action stop, action shield,  blah blah  .  .  .  but no cap post ( owner thinks shield will be enough).  I've tuned several originals to be left flat sprung so this was the first that I've been asked to take a drill to!!
I was amazed at how soft the frame is!!  The revolver turned out as expected and could easily be a daily  shooter using max bp loads. Owner will be sending it to Trumbull for a beauty treatment!! 
 The point to take away from it is our reproductions are actually made with better materials across the board  but they lack the "attention to detail" and "correct  to design" build.   These original "softies" are still shootable today BECAUSE  they were built to design.  The reproductions will last much longer ( theoretically) but only if corrected to design.   I know I wrecked a few in the '70's - '90's . Now that I know better,  what we actually have would  be a great testament to Sam's  open top design  .  .  .  if only built correctly.  I also think that since more modern materials have been used for all the reproductions,  that that is what allows one to "get away with" shooting middle to low loads.   .  .  even in competition.

Yessir  Abilene,  I'm getting close to a thousand rounds of 45acp  with a good mix of +p's in my '60 Army . Still maintaining all tolerances and have a second one starting down that road.
  My main objective is the "platform longevity". Not worried about the  Kirst cyl. I view it as the best "vehicle" to allow really good testing for the open-top platform  with  factory  ammo.
Soon I'll be testing the 45C rounds in Dragoons .  .  . ought to be a kick!!  :D

word !  I have a 2007 1st. year intro Richards Conversion.
I've had it since early 08, main match all those years, never could fit a washer as the arbor was already bottomed out. However, other folks mileage could vary.

45 Dragoon, you are the only one I know who shoots heavy loads in opentop designs.  ;D  But point taken.

Buckaroo, for your further reading pleasure:

I think it was Coffinmaker who came up with the "quick fix" of the split washer.  On some of mine, that washer is too big and I use a thinner one.  And as mentioned, some newer Ubertis have been reported by myself and others to not need the washer.  Easy to check it to find out.  Pettifogger's method in the articles of checking to see if it is too short doesn't work on my guns, the barrel assembly won't fit on all the way when turned sideways.  But you can just drop something small down the arbor hole and try to seat the barrel to check it as well.  I shot some of mine for 20 years before doing this, so it's not quite as "critical" as some would have you believe, though mine did probably wear a little more without it.

The "split washer" is a single coil "spring". A solid spacer would be a better solution. Especially if you are going to shoot  normal to heavy loads.  A solid connection between the 2 assemblies will maintain design integrity and functional strength.

The split washer goes here between the arbor nose and the Arbor's bottom seat.
It does just rest in there to fill in the slack.
Each time you dissemble the gun to clean, you will have to remember to drop it in again.
