Hrrumpp!! Well, the Bull Pup is gone from the site so I'll see if I can replace it with this. I wanted to put up one of my Traditions or CVA's but it is too awkward trying to take a picture of them.. This is the one (The only one I carry and shoot. The other 2 are cleaned and oiled and put away. They haven't been shot since the gunsmith tested the new barrels on them) that I moved up to .44-40..I really like these little carbines. They are strong and easy to handle and I can shoot it with one hand if I want or need to...Well, I'm not expecting many replies to this thread. I just wanted to throw it up here....PS, just got through shooting it 6 times before I took these photographs. Hadn't even cleaned it at the time the camera shutter snapped....Well, hell, if one's good then two is better. You ladies and gentlemen and sweetpeas will notice the UBERTI markings on this carbine? You're right. I had them placed right back on there. I am PROUD to own and shoot UBERTI and PIETTA....

Very, very nice. I'd love to have one someday. Though I think I might get a detachable stock for the pistols before I got the carbine...

Well, thats not entirely true. It would kinda depend on what rolled under my nose on a day I had the cash in my pocket. I'm kind of a gun-a-holic. :)
 
Thank you Mr. Packman. I am getting older now and try to stay retired. (that mean's real quiet and out of everybody's way and hope they don't call me for anything)..I have a pretty fair retirement but I bought all my guns and had the work done on them back when I was working steady and had a little extra money. Now I don't have much..Hey, I have seen some revolvers (one that stick's in my mind was a Colt 1860 I seen on here about 4 years ago) that had a shoulder stock and they looked real real good, especially that Colt 1860....

Oyeboten, I'm a semi retired spy and assassian, ( you know; one of Uncle Sam's professional killers) not a damn photographer! Be thankful for what you can see!!....
 
I can certainly understand wanting to stay retired! I'm not exactly a fan of working...it cuts into my range time too much. On the other hand, it also feeds my addiction. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing...

I've seen some pics of the Colt 1860 with the detach stock as well. It's a sharp looking gun. I'd like to have one in stainless with some nice wood.

How long is the barrel on that carbine of yours? Does the stock balance out the weight of the barrel pretty well, or do you find it muzzle heavy?

I'll bet it's sweet to shoot!
 
Mr. Packman..18 inches. Yes, it's balanced pretty well but it is heavy enough out front to settle on the target good even using one hand..Yeah, it shoot's real good. (To me. Maybe somebody else wouldn't like it although that would be hard for me to imagine)....
 
They do look great, I have the Pietta Buffalo with 12" barrel and halfheartedly looked for a shoulder stock for it. The pictures are way better than I can do, tried taking picture of a Pedersoil Frontier overall length is 54" and if you get the whole thing in frame you can't make out any details.
 
GOC, I don't know why that Cattleman reminds me of something that Machine Gun Kelly would have carried.
Do you happen to store that carbine in a violin case?
Imagine holding one of those in each hand all loaded and ready to shoot!
Music, sweet, sweet music! :D

WALKERs210...Yep!! I use a Hewlett Packard M525 digital and I reckon it would halfway do the job except I don't know what I'm doing. I shudder and tremble at the thought of trying to position one of my like CVA's and get a decent picture of the whole rifle. Hey, it just ain't gonna happen!!....

articap..!!!..Well, I'm sure not Machine Gun Kelly! I ain't nobody. Hell, if I was holding one in each hand I'd probably get all conflusterated (new word I just invented) and miss with all 12 shots! I sure do like them though. I'm not lying about it either. I was so happy the day I fired 12 shots out of the one pictured here with a .44-40 load and it handled it just fine. I knew for sure then that I'd found my baby....
 
Hi GOTC,


Oh! I al grateful for what I can see..!


I just wanted to see the rest of it!!


Lol...


Anyway, damn fine looking outfit you have there.

I bet it is a joy to shoot.
 
Oyeboten...Thank you sir.. Yes, it is fun to shoot. I don't know much about taking good pictures. When I tried to get the entire carbine in focus back then it would either be too far away or so close it was blurry so I just done what I could..Glad you like it sir....
 
I think I just peed on my leg a little. I need to cash in my membership here before I have one of every gun posted. I always new I wanted a Kentucky flinter. Then it was a Walker, then it was an ROA, then it was one of those Hickock revolvers, and now this. I may need to borrow someone's couch after I'm divorced and broke...

Steve.
 
SteveInColorado...Well, if it get's that rough on you I'll let you pitch a tent in the back of my pickup!..Get's a little chilly out here in the winter though as I'm sure you know..That Walker you own there touches my heart..(especially if it's a Uberti)....

Click to expand...

If you were missing with all 12 shots then you would just be needing to hold them there cattleman stocks a little bit tighter up under near your armpits with your upper arms pinning them tight against each of the sides of your body and rib cage there man!
We're all going to work harder to help you to get unconflusterated enough so that you can hit that damn target without even aiming!

I wonder what one of these would be like with a cartridge conversion cylinder? I would think with the conversion cylinder one could hold the carbine like it would normally because there would be no threat of a chainfire. I would think you could get more accuracy. Has anybody done this? I would be curious as to how it worked out.
 
I used the regular Kirst Uberti 58 Rem gated conversion cylinder on mine. It's a sweet little carbine. Felt a little nervous about grinding the loading port though, but was glad I did it afterwards. It looks nice with the gate and ejector. I still keep my hands overlapped, and behind the cylinder. I think it feels more controlable that way.
 
My carbine certainly doesn't know the cylinder is different, my percussion revolver cylinders fit, my Kirst and R&D both fit, where do you see a difference? Now older Ubertis ( my1987) had longer cylinders, the same length as a Pietta, but the current crop do not, at least in the last 10 years.

Well, my Pietta '58 cylinders will fit into the carbine but they leave too much space between the front of the cylinder and the forcing cone for me to be comfortable with. My carbine cylinders will NOT fit into my Pietta 58's. They act like they want to and they almost will but they won't. That's why I had to end up buying me some extra cylinders made especially for the .44 Remington Uberti Cattleman's carbine....
 
My Uberti revolver cylinder(2.001) well fit my Uberti revolving carbine(2.001). My Pietta cylinders(2.015) are a few thousandth to long.

The revolving carbine would be fun with a conversion cylinder I think.

Hand guns with stocks are ambrosia.

cylinder fit

As it seems some cylinders interchange between the handguns and the carbines and some don't, it must be a date of manufacture issue. The older Ubertis had a longer cylinder, about 2.010-2.015, the current production is 2.000, or as another has measured, 2.001. Piettas are 2.015..

R&D was able to fit my older Uberti "58" using a Pietta backplate with an Uberti cylinder. Kirst would be the opposite, as the Kirst backplates are the same thickness and the cylinder length is different.

Madcratebuilder, where did you find that Dragoon?
