Greetings!
I recently scored a great deal on a new Uberti 1876, including 3 boxes of BACO 50-95 ammo. Shop owner showed me the rifle...which is a very nicely done new Uberti, and I said "But do you have the ammo?". He thunked a box on the counter and said it comes with that and two more boxes. Out the door it went....
I am putting a Kelley sight on the rear, after reading through the threads on sights, and was thinking of putting a MVA Beech/Lyman flip style on the front. I haven't seen much on that sight. Any issues or concerns with the Beech/Lyman style?
Also, brass...is it really worth the effort to get the Bertram? Went out to Ammunition Artifacts and picked up some of thier 50 Alaska conversion for "Repros" to try. Looks decent, drops into the Uberti chamber, but the case is definitely smaller than the BACO JBA brass. Does anyone know what the cases dimensions are that Uberti designed to? The ammunition artifacts ammo made from the Magtech brass for originals are slightly larger than JBA at the base, and will not easily chamber.
Thanks
Chris
