Title: WTB Uberti 1873 Carbine Stock
Post by: TN Mongo on November 06, 2019, 11:03:15 AM
I want to cut one down a little, but I don't want to cut the stock on this new gun.

Is it a original Winchester  with a true collector value, or a Italian copy we buy only to shoot this game?
I have a miter box if it helps.

I didn't mention it in the text, but it is in the title - it's a Uberti stock.

I didn't want to cut the original because, it I ever sell it, it will sell better with an "unmolested" stock.

If looking at resale on your  Uberti is a concern  I would not cut it, I think a new stock is like 100$.
Why do you want to  cut it?
Lady and youth have a shorter pull, 1100 or so new.
Lot of folks cut the stock to suit them, then when they buy a new gun put cut stock on new gun and new stock on old gun and sell.

A new stock is $195 (finished).  An unfinished stock (very rough) is $95.

I'd like to see it and know how much you want for it.  I assume it will fit the carbine model.
