Hello all, I’m a very long time lurker who has finally decided to come out of the woodwork.

I’m in Walla Walla, WA, so it seems I’m fairly close to a great many of you, and share some of the same interests.

Over the years I’ve owned a wide variety of single shot rifles, from TC Contenders and Encores to Shiloh Sharps and Husqvarna rolling blocks, with a variety in between.

Now I’m here with a question about the Uberti High Wall. On these pages I’ve read that original Winchester buttstocks will fit the Italian actions. One member here has mentioned a few times fitting a musket buttstock to a Uberti.

And yet I’ve also read that the buttstocks do not interchange. Is it simply a matter of altering an original to fit? Is there a compatibility issue that isn’t being mentioned?

I’m hoping one or three of you might comment please.

Thank you,

Otony

I’ve met George, he is a very nice fellow. I should have thought of him from the beginning.

I used to go to his father’s stock manufacturing business in the Santa Cruz mountains, back in California. I remember George when he was around 10 or 12 years old. His Dad had a huge collection of walnut stumps, very impressive.

Thank you,

If you have a Uberti High Wall, simply try fitting an old Winchester High Wall buttstock. Very little work needed.  Old buttstocks that fit the Winchester are not that hard to come by.
