Uberti win 66 carbine 22lr

Post by barbarossa »

Took the Uberti 66 carbine in 22lr out the other day to sight in and found that it was shooting quite a bit low.Not willing to file down the front sight down as I might run out of sight I installed this buckhorn sight on it and it did the trick

Probably a better sight than the factory one anyway; looks great.

I had one long ago, mid-late 1970s, it was probably the most fun 22 rifle ive ever had, I miss it.

Being rimfire and no loading gate, I removed the fore end and filed the fore end boss off the receiver, cheap version Henry in 22 rimfire.

At one point I was staying at a farm out of town part time and shooting a 2500 rd case of ammo through it a month.

Isnt it amazing how many people post without reading the thread?

You can get really good at something when you do it a lot!
