Uberti Old West Revolvers & Rifles

Uberti Revolvers & Rifles

The thrill and romance of shooting Old West firearms might not be possible today if it were not for gun maker Aldo Uberti. Most of the original six-shooters, lever-action rifles, and buffalo guns, worth many thousands of dollars today, are either locked up in private collections or on display in museums, making them unobtainable or impractical for shooting. That's where Uberti comes in. In 1959, Aldo Uberti began making replicas of Civil War-era cap and ball revolvers. He founded A. Uberti S.R.L. in the village of Gardone Val Trompia in the Italian Alps. Over the years, as his craftsmen gained experience, the company expanded its production to include more and more Old West firearms, each an exact replica down to the finest detail, and often even improvements over the originals thanks to modern materials and machinery.

Today, A. Uberti produces black powder revolvers (like the Uberti 1858 New Army 44 revolver and the Umberti 1847 Walker Colt Paterson revolver), cartridge revolvers (like the Uberti 1873 Cattleman single-action revolver), and cartridge rifles (like the Uberti 1860 Henry Rifle) . These firearms set the standard by which Cowboy Action Shooting competitors and big-game hunters judge other vintage firearms. With Uberti lever action rifles and 357 and 44 revolvers, enthusiasts can enjoy the precision and quality that have made Uberti a household name.
