I’ll take it. PM inbound.

Just an update. I have reworked the bevel and re-timed for the brass carrier. It cycles great, even with my short dummy rounds. Thanks for all the input and guidance from all. Nothing like Cowpokes to lend a hand.

Thanks for all the ideas Joe. I plan on polishing out the roughness and lengthen the ramp as you described. A lot of the bullets run were 105’s and hard to seat those much longer. Going to try 125’s or 158’s to get longer nose . Maybe try 357 cases. Also going to retime . Have tried to contact PGW but guess they are all at EOT. I never paid attention to the inside of receiver until you pointed out how rough in the photos. Also figuring out best way to clean up (blue) area you marked. Getting to that area will be interesting it seems.

Sorry for such large pics. Don’t know how to resize. Here is picture of inside receiver for fix Garrison Joe referred to. Bright worn spot that I guess rim has been catching on.

This is what I’m referring to:

Ordered a new brass carrier today, switching back to brass. Can’t find the old one.

1/8 “ was a guess last night, was tired and frustrated. Aluminum carrier face (wedge that pushes bullet back into mag) does have a groove worn through the anodized finish, ramp is pretty worn. Also, at the rear of carrier there is a divot worn where the rim would sit. And the bullet ends up sort of cockeyed with the rim end sort of jammed into the right rear corner (looking into ejection port) with the nose of the bullet pointed to left side. I think it may have come out of time because if carrier freed and raised slowly, the bolt bottom tab is now hitting the rim of upcoming bullet. RRR

Have a uberti 73 in 38/357 that has run flawlessly for years. Today at our match it jammed with bullet in bottom of carrier and about 1/8 “ + of the next round in magazine also trying to enter. Locked the gun up. Disassembled tonight and cleaned. Checked cycling with dummy rounds and does the same thing. Has a PGW super short stroke and aluminum carrier. Has been in gun for years with no issues. Rounds loaded to same OAL of 1.46. First bullet in carrier seems to drop below/under bolt. Bottom of carrier is flush with bottom of receiver . I’ve heard of this before but can’t remember the fix. Help would be much appreciated. RRR

Hey Dawg, I sold a Dasterdly tower of power to you a few years ago. So we have history. Do you think (Nevada Gambler) seller of the 38/357 Dillion dies is legit ? I only ask because of all the dealings I’ve had on the wire, everything is done pretty much through PM’s. I’ve had one interaction with a scammer post and he texted my phone for payment. Never had this happen before. Now this guy has done the same thing. Not sure if I just threw away 110.00. Your thought since you also posted to take one set.

How do you prefer payment?

I’ll take a set if still available. Prefer the set with expander if not spoken for.

Interested in the rifle but concerned about loss of blueing at muzzle. Anywhere else? Also, is this a hunting or target model?
