Uberti Silverboy .22LR Rifle

Uberti Firearms

ACCOKEEK, MD --(Ammoland.com)- Uberti proudly announces the introduction of the Silverboy —the ultimate small-bore lever-action rifle.

An Italian designed, all-original lever-action firearm, based on the classic styling of the “Old West” lever-gun.

The Silverboy embodies the best features of the proven lever-gun design that goes back as far as the mid-1800s, when lever-guns were chambered for pistol calibers like the .44/40 and .45 Colt. Now Uberti adds the .22 LR caliber to that illustrious list.

Uberti’s new Silverboy lever action brings a brand new twist to an old, but “tried-and-true,” design. A unique cartridge-control mechanism inside the action allows controlled-round-feed so that the gun can be fired while held at any angle—the action will cycle reliably, even when upside down.

The Silverboy is a perfect first gun for youth shooters as well as a great firearm for teaching people of all ages how to handle and shoot a rifle. In the right hands the Silverboy’s excellent accuracy makes it a great gun for varmint and small game applications.

The Silverboy is also ideal for the cowboy-action shooter that wants to put in lots of shooting practice without breaking the bank buying ammunition. Pair the Silverboy with a couple of Uberti single-action Stallions in .22 LR and you’ve got a great training rig that will cost pennies on the dollar to shoot compared to a standard cowboy-action rig. This is a beautiful, great handling gun with a lot to offer both beginners and experienced marksmen.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Caliber: .22 Long Rifle
• Barrel Length: 19”
• Sights: Fixed Rear Sight; Windage-Adjustable Front Sight Metal
• Finish: Blued barrel; Chrome-finished Alum-Alloy Receiver
• Stock Material: A-Grade Walnut with Straight Grip
• Average Weight: 6.4 lbs.
• Overall Length: 36”
• Length of Pull: 13.2”

Winchester Model 1886 Short Rifle

Winchester Model 1886 Short Rifle

Big Horn Armory Model 89 Lever-Action Carbine

Big Horn Armory

Cody, WY --(Ammoland.com)- Obadiah was a field mouse living on his land out in the country in Wyoming.

Because of his hard work, he was a successful farmer and business mouse.

However, Obadiah was completely surrounded by large cats. Some of these cats had land with mineral rights that, if worked correctly, could bring great wealth and a contented way of life for the cat community.

The problem with the cats was that, even with all the land and potential wealth, they fixated their time and hostile efforts on the tiny patch of extremely productive land that Obadiah owned. In the name of their cat- God, they declared a holy cat war on Obadiah, his family and his fellow mice who lived on this land.

Obadiah from the Bible was a successful man who was a servant of God and used his own wealth to hide and protect the persecuted. The Wyoming Obadiah was also a protector of his fellow mice.

The cats came on multiple occasions to strike at Obadiah, many times in herds of cats. I am sure you can recall the expression “like trying to herd cats,” implying that, just as you cannot make a group of cats move in the same direction, at the same time, to accomplish a common goal, you cannot make some people move to accomplish a task. Trying to get a group of cats to strike at a common target and function in a coordinated effort is extremely rare.

What cats will do is wait until one cat has wounded its prey, and then the un-herd will move in as a collective body to share in the spoils.

Wyoming Obadiah, knowing the ways of cats and that he had a duty to protect his land and his fellow mice, decided he must out-gun the cats. He acquired a Wyoming made Big Horn Armory Model 89 lever action rifle in 500 S&W magnum. The cats were sorely afraid of the Model 89. They did not have such a weapon. They knew the Model 89 was capable of massive destruction of cats, should they attempt to attack Obadiah.

So they did what cats and children do when they do not get their way-they whined and complained to whomever would listen. “We do not have a Model 89 and no one will give us one.” “It is not fair.” “There needs to be a worldwide committee set up to look into Obadiah and his Model 89.” “There needs to be restrictions placed on Obadiah, his land and his Model 89.”

After all, what happens if the next time a cat or un-herd of cats tries attacking Obadiah, and he is so concerned he cannot repel the cats by conventional means, he brings out the big gun-the Model 89? Why won’t someone give us cats a Model 89? It is not fair-it is not fair. Do you think if we stood in the streets just outside of Obadiah’s land and threw stones & rocks and called to our cat-God to destroy Obadiah, that someone would give us a Model 89?

The cats were sorely afraid of the Big Horn Armory Model 89 Lever-Action Carbine.

The Model 89 is so powerful that if Obadiah fires it at one cat, the collateral damage down range may include many other cats. That is not fair-that is not fair. Obadiah continues to try to live in peace, even as he is circled daily by ever larger and more vicious cat-God inspired felines who wish to attack and be martyred into cat heaven.

Obadiah is a God fearing mouse and does not want the blood of many cats on his hands. He knows how the Model 89 works and what it will do to the cats, but he has never fired the “89.” He truly fears the day will come when he must make that deadly decision.

Obadiah knows he can fire the “89” many times and smite his enemies, but if he fails to defend even once, the cat un-herds will rush in and feed on the bodies of his fellow mice. If this happens, Obadiah’s lands will fall-perhaps-forever into the paws of the cats. Cats, who, after feasting on the dead, will allow the land to go feral and barren. The cats will also be free to prey on mice living outside of Obadiah’s former land and protection.

Make no mistake-Obadiah will use his Model 89, firing a Mt. Baldy Bullet, 50 caliber, 450 grain cat annihilating, Keith bullet, specially lubricated with beeswax and lard. He will do this before he allows the destruction of his own kind and his land, driving a spike into the heart of evil.

Cats have no idea what is truly fair or unfair, but they must learn–hopefully not from the mouth of a Model 89.

Uberti 1883 Lever-Action Rifle

Uberti Firearms

ACCOKEEK, MD –-(AmmoLand.com)- The Burgess was Colt’s answer to Winchester’s popular lever-action rifle.

But when Colt introduced their lever-action rifle in 1883, it literally set Winchester Repeating Arms Company back on its heels.

In American corporate gun-making history the Burgess is significant because of the furor it caused between Winchester and Colt.

When Winchester began gearing up to make pistols to compete with Colt, high-level politicians stepped in to put pressure on both companies to avoid disaster.

Folklore has it that this was one of the first big-level “back room” deals ever made between two large gun companies. By the time this agreement was reached Colt had produced 6400 Burgess lever actions, but that’s all that were ever made.

Colt agreed to drop production of the Burgess and Winchester canceled their pistol project, and the rest, as they say……is history. Now, Colt’s Burgess comes to life again with Uberti’s 1883 Lever-Action rifle, chambered in .45 Long Colt, and available with either 20- or 25 1/2-inch barrels.
