Official Cowboy Shooting Thread

[Triggerfinger]

Anyone know something about American Arms incorporated imports compared to Cimarron or Taylor imported Ubertis. I have an American Arms Inc 1873 Sporting rifle and wanted to see if it's the same quality rifle as other imports.

New release of the (gorgeous) Taylor/Uberti 1873 Trapper in 357 with 18-inch barrel and a pistol grip ... most places have only 1 or 2 ... with prices just under $1100. I'm tempted.

Here are places that I've had good shopping experiences with ...

Someone on VA Guntrader has that 73 in .45 Colt for $900. Not that I need another cowboy gun.

If anyone is looking for some Cowboy shoots, Southern Lancaster Farmers Association has events either the 2nd or the 3rd Saturday each month, from May-October. Started up last year. It's an absolute blast and very welcoming group of shooters.

Pulled the trigger on a rig. Same as this one, except a double!
Cochise Leather in Arizona.

Beautiful rig.

thanks I just ordered it. That's the website pic. Should be done in about 6 weeks.

 

[hodgepodge]

VERY nice!

 

[TomisinMd]

It's here! Cochise Leather. They did a fine job!

 

[Indiana Jones]

This was tempting. Old timer said he was gonna use it for CAS! I doubt they used gold plates guns back then but who knows.

I'd say they did!

Great price on an Uberti Silverboy 22LR lever action from Buds ... $328 with free shipping ... might make a nice Christmas gift ...

https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog...3/uberti_silverboy_lever_action_rifle_19_22lr

These usually run $100-150 higher.

IAC imported Norinco reproduction of the Winchester 1897 in 12 Gauge with American walnut furniture. This is a 6th generation design that benefited from the input of US cowboy action gunsmiths including Coyote Cap. Smooth action; rugged build. Can't wait to take it to the range.

Are they making these again? As I surely need one.

This one was used, although barely. Came in the US flag box in great condition. As I mentioned, it is 6th generation that incorporates the Coyote Cap improvements, which began after serial number 0306500. When IAC stopped bringing in the Norinco 1897 shotguns circa 2015, they were in the 09xxxxx serial number range and I'm unsure what generation this was considered.

BossmanPJ might have one available, but check with him directly.
