What a tremendous loss. Always a gentleman with good humor and a smile. Also a huge asset to the game with endless amounts of behind the scene contributions. He will be missed on every front.
My recommendation for Uberti ‘73’s is to just order one straight from Cody Conagher. He backs his work 100% and has probably done more rifles than all the other smiths combined over the last 25 years. Not the shortest stroke on the market but there’s a couple of shoooters in the game that shoot his rifles that don’t give up anything to anyone in the game on rifle speed.

Was wondering if anyone knows dimensionally the location to drill a hole to accept a Ruger style hand spring on a Uberti 2nd Model Dragoon. Yes I know there is a fixture and yes I know some have gotten a kazillion rounds of use out of the flat springs. I wanna do and gonna do it just trying to cut the curve a bit. Any info appreciated.
That’s entirely dependent on your level of commitment to practice with it. Dropping 2 is obviously better but there are other ways to shoot it competitively.
