I agree. I think once Uberti shows substantial sales on the rifle, they will offer a carbine. If it's the same quality as the rifle or any of the other Uberti lever actions, it will definately be on my list. I have a few original 1876 carbines and they're even more fun than the rifle. Believe me, if you take a .45-75 or a .50 Express to the range or to a shoot and let others shoot it, they will remember you and the gun for the rest of there lives.
Adios,
