So quick question, who is making the 1866 for Navy Arms? Is there a manufacturer label on it?
Thanks

It was imported before Navy Arms moved to WV, and it was manufactured by Uberti.

Thanks!
The sight is puzzling, couldn’t find it on any schematics. Looks like it belongs there though.
Edit: Maybe a copy of an 1873 rear sight. Not identical but real similar.

Wish Winchester had not discontinued their Yellowboy in .38 Special…or I had bought the one languishing for the longest time in a local gun shop for <$1K…
