Recommendation for Uberti SAA gunsmith - Northern Indy suburbs

[crispy]

I've got a Taylor's & Co. Uberti Cattleman that had a bolt break. After nine months, Taylor's sent me the bolt as I requested.

I disassembled it nine months ago and apparently I'm an idiot because I reassembled it and now it isn't working right. The cylinder doesn't turn every time I pull the trigger back. Only some of the time.

I just need a Colt clone/SAA gunsmith that can put it back together correctly. I'm in Noblesville.

Point the gun straight down and cock the hammer, see if the cylinder turns. Point straight up and do the same thing. You likely have a missing, broken, or bent hand spring if it does not turn pointed up, this, a common malady.

I'm not a gunsmith, nor do I play one on TV.

I have fixed a lot of old guns over the years of my own.

Seconded. Give him an email...

he "liked" that post so that lends credence to the posability that he'd be able to A) do and B ) willing to do the work.

Always turns pointed down. Never turns pointed up.

Must have lost the spring when I removed the broken bolt.

Thanks.

He refinished a gun of mine for free when I was Asst. Mgr. at Point Blank. I only got to send one customer his way before I bailed on that place.

I'll have to contact him.

We got it fixed. Small potatoes

So, not a spring as @Leadeye suggested? Learned something new today ... a Colt clone SAA runs on small potatoes!

Wish it was so...it would be much cheaper!

....FWIW, buddy and I bought a pair of unfired Uberti SAA's. Both are close in ser# and manf date. They both are fairly equal in shots fired as we usually shoot in the same club matches. Both broke this spring during this season.

Pretty common on the ubertis I replaced all mine with round wire springs
