What gun did you buy today?

[SloppyShooter]

Where?

Why? Did you spot that Ruger with a 9" barrel underneath it , and you want to get it before I do?

Uh,
No,
Why would you think that?

Because that is a cool gun.

 

[Vaquero]

I was gonna get it for you as a welcome gift.
Yeah, that's the ticket.

Aw, shucks! I should have known!

Well I didn't "buy" it. More of a trade for doing some ac work for a friend of the family.

What can you tell us about it? Generic replica? Anything historic?

 

[SidewaysTA]

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm sure It is a generic replica. Probably not worth much. It's not in the best of condition.

I should clarify, it was more of an unexpected gift than a trade.

Here a crappy pic of some of the markings on it. Maybe someone on here can tell who made it?

The AD inside the square box is the date code.
AD = 1991

Look under the loading lever. Any stamps there?

 

[SidewaysTA]

None that I see.

Bore condition?

 

[SidewaysTA]

Hard to tell. Just looking in the muzzle it looks rough tho.

She didn't know anything about it. I think she got it from one of her relative's estate.

All I've been able to find is that the PN stamp indicates it is Italian but I can't nail down a manufacturer.

Probably Uberti.
They're the only one that makes that model.

Nice score.

Thanks, even if it isn't in fire-able condition it is a neat gun.

Ought to clean up and able to get it running.
Parts are available.
Soak it down with penetrating oil for a few days.
Use good fitting screwdrivers and go easy when unscrewing any screws. The Italian guns are notorious for soft steel screws. Easy to strip the slots.

Yeah, I would like to shoot it. Never done BP before tho.
