Hi all,

I suppose this is the best place for my question:

Does anyone here own a Uberti 1876, also known as the ''Centennial'' model?

How do you like ? What caliber do you shoot? etc....

I've seen a few Chaparral Arms models sometimes come for sale, but I've read too much negative about them and...Marstar

tells me Chaparral is NOT in business anymore.

What do you think?

I had a uberti 76 crossfire carbine in 45/60 and managed to take a 12 point buck with it.They are nice guns but a bit on the large and heavy side.THE 45/60 cal is your best bet as ammo can be made cheaply from 45/70 cases.I eventually sold it off as even in carbine form it was quite heavy, I bought a browning 86 carbine in 45/70 which is a lot easier to carry a field

Well, I agree: It cannot be a light piece of weaponry....and the only reason why I want one is that I had the great opportunity to buy a original 1876 in 50-95. But it's in need of a restoration and that's not gonna happen ($$$$). I'm keeping it as is, original and having seen better days! However, I can't help seeing it displayed in a nice wooden case in my living-room along with a Uberti that actually looks new and is a real shooter. But, I'm in no hurry (luckily). And btw, I also own a early production model 1886 #11### in 45-70 that is a shooter.
