Overall Condition: This gun retains about 80% of its metal finish. The balance of the finish shows use consistent with Cowboy Action Shooting. There is handling and shooting wear present, as well as evidence of disassembly and reassembly. There are a few scratches on the side plates but otherwise the wear is primarily limited to the butt plate and barrel bands. The Screw heads are mostly sharp, though some show some marring. The markings are clear. Overall, this gun rates in about Very Good condition.
Mechanics: The action functions as designed though we have not test fired it. It is our understanding that these older imports will not adapt to the newer short-stroke kits that are now available.
Box & Accessories: None
Our Assessment: Here is actually an interesting piece of Cowboy Shooting history. These guns were brought in from Uberti by Navy Arms with the anticipation of sales to Cowboy Shooters. Navy Arms was correct and later became one of the largest importers of these reproduction rifles for sales to Cowboys. This one is in a great cowboy caliber and is ready to go.
