IMHO Uberti quality is second to none. Have not seen such quality in 70 years. Gorgeous case hardening, beautiful bluing, checkering and hand fitting. Walnut and steel at its finest. They are worth much more than they retail for.
Don't forget ammo for this .30 WCF can be hand loaded spire pointed bullets, ... a huge asset !
A very handsome firearm, indeed.
It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books
Doesn't ship to California. PPPPFFFFTTTTT! on him. There are still some good people living here but it ain't easy. I recently purchased a 14 pound Rolling Block and it was delivered to my door. And please don't tell me to move. All my friends live here and I'm too darned old to make new ones. Although I am always open to meet and accept new brothers. Semper Fi, ED
I lived in CA when I was a kid in the late 60's early 70's and it was the best place in the world IMO. Now its a 3rd world chithole unless you have a lot of money.
There is a way around the sellers not set up to ship to California, but it costs more.
You could ask a seller that is, say @Locust Fork , if she'd do a transfer for you.
You could buy from @Ricci.Wright , he sends it to @Locust Fork , she sends it to your ffl in California. Just lots more shipping and another transfer fee in the middle. As long as all parties are inclined to participate.
All you have to do is ask. Asking for a seller to set up to jump through hoops to send to California when they aren't inclined to won't get you far.
It is my choice where I ship firearms I sell, and I chose not to do business with the state of California. I refuse to ask some bureaucrat's permission, who probably can't explain the difference between a rifle and a shotgun, to ship a gun to a state where the laws regarding firearms change every 15 minutes. And you Marine, you feel discriminated against?? I can understand your feeling that way but I would not ship a sharp stick to California. It's a damn shame what has been allowed to happen to your state. Such a gorgeous place. I love San Diego, and Tahoe, and all the rest of California I have seen. But those wrong headed politicians need to go.
I have 4 bolt action .30-30's. I have tried spitzer bullets in each of them and found that I get tighter groups with flat points. I haven't checked for twist rate but with the standard twist of 1-12, I would think a 150 gr. spitzer would stabalize. The pointed bullets have to be seated deeper into the case to fit the magazine so not as close to the rifling as the FP. Maybe that has something to do with it. I once bought some old part boxes of factory silver-tip loads at a yard sale and shot them in my 788. They were kind of slow but, boy, I wish I could get my reloads to group like that!

I will suggest to those of you who look down on those of us who live in Ca. and talk badly about us to read Pastor Martin Niemollers speech about Nazi Germany ending with "Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak up for me". Don't be so smug my friends, you are next in line if Ca. falls. "We must all hang together or most assuredly we will hang separately". Ben Franklin said that and you know he was right.

Very Nice. I'm trying to refrain from buying anymore guns right now but that one is sure tempting me
A. O. C.
any other caliber.
It is pretty, though.
Very nice and great pic as usual.
I rather like the 30 wcf caliber.
Well, a bench vise and a pipe wrench, and that baby can be pretty much anything you want.😮

A Hi-Wall by any other name ...

I will be keeping an eye on that...very nice.
Not the sellers fault, CA has 2A hating socialists controlling state government.
And a lot of hoops to jump through.

In for a bit and a half or so.

S&H is free ... Right ?
Or, you dont have ANY money and are homeless or an illegal entrant......then the state gives you money.
