Uberti 1866 Winchester .22LR
I've decided to sell another of my beautiful guns that I just don't ever use. This is an Uberti Winchester 1866 'Yellowboy' replica in .22LR, fittingly made in 1966, so somewhat of a centenary gun I suppose. In a time where so many rimfires have pot-metal receivers and are often scaled-down and cheapened versions of centerfire guns, a classic like this is really refreshing. It is a full-size, full weight (7lbs13oz) replica with a lovely brass receiver, a blued 19" carbine barrel and a 15 shot tube magazine.
The action is very smooth, although the hammer is fairly heavily sprung to ensure reliable ignition of the rimfire cartridges. Rear sight has a flip up ladder for long-range shooting ( ). Trigger is very nice and light for this type of gun. Condition is good for a 55 year-old gun, there are some marks to the surface of the wood (which is nicely figured and fitted very well to the metal) and some marks on the receiver where a previous owner clearly didn't understand how to take the sideplates off. I have let the brass tarnish as I like the vintage look, but it can easily be polished to a very bright shine. Overall a very attractive plinker that always catches people's attention. Uberti do still make these, the current production version of this gun costing £945 from Kranks.

Price is £275 collected in Bournemouth. Section 1 FAC item, slot for a .22 Rifle required. Thanks,
Alex

Still after £250. Here's a picture in natural light showing the lovely bluing on the barrel, lever and hammer, plus the attractive wood grain.

Absolutely a little stunner she is, really like the way one can see the mechanism operate from above.
I have recently joined a new club and this is perfect to shoot there.
As you can see a slight modification to the rifle has been made.
Shout all you want, that it is not in keeping and all that however it works a lot better with the new sight than without.
Thank you, GlockworkOrange, for packing it securely for transport and for selling it to me
