I think some older ubrtis had the colt spring. I wasn't aware that the new uberti's have the ruger-style plunger instead of the old colt-style leaf hand spring that is a significant upgrade and is usually one of the first things that gets changed when you "tune" a gun. Which is why I don't totally think the problem was caused by dry firing. If you insist on dry firing, you should invest in some snap caps.Īlready have some and that's what stays in the cylinder. Every thing is back in the correct place (plus it had the problem before I took it apart). I took it all down with the exception of the bolt/sear spring because I can't get that screw undone. If you didn't take it all of the way down, is there dirt built up around it that you can't get to with a normal cleaning? Before I put it back together it will get a coat of thin oil. could you have switched them?ĭid you clean all of the parts? My cylinder block has signs of wear on the side against the frame.

Thks for any assistance.I don't know if it will make a difference, but they trigger pin and the cylinder block pin are the same dimensions. I would still buy the Colt it's awful preeettyy. Anyway, hoping someone else has been there. Could go to 25-1 and seal better under pressure. My lead is a little hard at 10-1 for cowboy loads. Hate using different moulds of the same weight to shoot the same caliber. My intent is not to bash Colt but to try to get it to shoot without losing what hair and time I've got left. Both have good triggers and lock up pretty tight with an edge going to the USFA. I measured the throat on the cylinders and the USFA was. The USFA shoots 5 inch groups at 50 yards off hand with everything. Shooting smokeless Trailboss and Unique (blackpowder later) with 185, 230, 255 grain bullets (452 sized). I have a SAA Colt in 45 colt 5 1/2 barrel and a SA USFA 45 colt 4 3/4 barrel.

But, I think this forum has the answers and most would probably enjoy. I know it's not the forum for what I'm about to ask.
