Got this on GB a couple days ago for a pretty descent price as a project gun ( it's not here yet ) and other than the brass tacks it looked pretty good to me. The rifle was advertised as an "Uberti Great Plains 54cal. "nice clean bore, very nice condition, Uberti USA New Milford CT" ( on the top flat - hard to make out in the pic )
Now I've had several Lyman Great Plains rifles as well as a couple of Santa Fe Hawkens and to me it looks more like the latter perhaps built from a kit, as evidenced by the backward front sight. It's the barrel marking Uberti USA that has me confused. What do you think?
