UBERTI CAP/N/BALLCARBINE CONV.
« on: October 07, 2003, 06:26:06 PM »
IM NEW ON THIS SITE AND HAVE ONE YEAR EXP AT CAPNBALL SHOOTING. I RECENTLY BOUGHT A UBERTI CATTLEMAN CARBINE BASED ON A 1858 REMINGTON. ITS CUTE AS A JUST WEANED PUP AND IM THINKING ABOUT CONVERTING IT TO FIRE CARTRIDGES. ANY INFO ON R&D OR KIRST CONV. WOULD BE HELPFULL. THE KIRST 45ACP CONV REALLY LOOKS INTRIGUEING. DO THESE LITTLE CARBINES SHOOT WELL WHEN CONVERTED? THANKS.

I built my own carbine many years ago in the 60's before the Italians did.  Made it from a Navy Arms (then Ubrti) Remington and a Numrich barrel and assorted parts from Dixie Gun Works.  All that aside, I put in an R&D cylinder bought for another revolver just to see what it would do, and it does.  A shooting buddy cranked a round at a steel buffalo we have at 200 yards and clanged it, handed it back and said it'll do...  I'm sure the made-to-be-a-carbine from the start, from Uberti should be as good or better.
