What’s Included
- A. Uberti Model 1866 Yellowboy Sporting rifle
The solid brass receiver gives this Model 1866 its signature “Yellowboy” look while also resisting corrosion. Uberti machines the frame to tight tolerances, ensuring smooth cycling of the lever-action mechanism.
The 24" octagonal barrel provides a long sight radius and classic frontier appearance. Its matte blued finish contrasts cleanly with the case-hardened lever and hammer.
Feeding from a 13-round tubular magazine, the rifle maintains the original 1866 capacity. Chambering is .44-40 Win., a cartridge prized for mild recoil and historical authenticity.
Glossy walnut stock and forend are finished to a high sheen, highlighting the grain and providing a comfortable 13" length of pull. Traditional iron sights—a front blade and semi-buckhorn rear—offer a period-correct sight picture that aligns quickly on target.
