Samdjr74 11 Posted December 17, 2014 Hi All, I really want to get my hands on a carbine revolver rifle. I had a chance to look at and hold a Rossi Circuit Judge today. I'm just wondering what else is out there. The Rossi was ok, but for the price I guess I was expecting a better quality fit and finish. The stock was loose, the finish looked beat and the indexer looked like it was made from pot metal. Mind you this was a new gun right out of the box. So what else is out there that won't cost a small fortune. I'd like to keep it under $1k. Thanks, Sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samdjr74 11 Posted December 17, 2014 Nice, I'm guessing made in Italy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin .50 1,907 Posted December 17, 2014 Nice, I'm guessing made in Italy? Yes, it's ITRALIAN, lol! And Nick made a great recommendation. There's also a Cap and Ball version of this available as a 18" tubed Remington 1858 New Model Army with shoulder stock. For around a grand you could get BOTH, lol!

Dave Sounds good, although I'd probably stay away from the ball and cap model just out of ease. Anything else I should look at out there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin .50 1,907 Posted December 18, 2014 ^^^Not to my knowledge, unless we chat about originals like the Colt revolving rifle, worth thousands. Cimmaron imports the Italian replicas, so check them out too. Rossi revolvers were always a little "rough", so it doesn't take me by surprise that the fit and finish is rough on their revolver carbines. I have friends who own the Cap and Ball version, so if you ever wanna play with one to see how it works, just look me up! Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newtonian 453 Posted December 18, 2014 Allow me to ruin this thread. Are they considered handguns in NJ? Only kidding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted December 18, 2014 Uberti 1873 Revolver Carbine http://www.uberti.com/1873-revolver-carbine-and-buntline I'm digging the "features list" at that site. Features: - Front Sight *AND* - Rear Sight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samdjr74 11 Posted December 19, 2014 The only problem I have with the Uberti is the gripping location. Which the JC has an nice advantage as I can hold it like a rifle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't see any other mention of it so it's out of context. Please elaborate so I understand you better, and thanks! Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carcano 14 Posted December 23, 2014 Nice, any quality issues? Anything that you don't like about it? I thought it was well built, I shot it maybe 300 or so times and traded it for another rifle but wish I had kept it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junkmanted 54 Posted December 24, 2014 Which one, the Rossi or something else?i think it was a Cimarron . The only draw back was keep your hands behind the cylinder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junkmanted 54 Posted December 24, 2014 I agree I just didnt like the style of the Rossi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samdjr74 11 Posted December 24, 2014 I agree I just didnt like the style of the Rossi I hear yuh, there's two things that keep me from getting the Rossie, the length of the barrel and overall fit and finish. But from a few posts it sounds like the fit and finish aren't as bad as he one I saw which is a plus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
