Is there anybody out there with knowledge of a supply of spare parts for the Uberti Colt Lightning replica. Chambered in .45 I need a locking brace and a few other parts. I have scoured high and low.

I have had some Uberti Lightning parts on order from VTI for two years. I also put in an order with Taylor and Company. Took about 18 months to get the parts from Taylors but they finally did manage to get them. Hope you have a backup rifle or two.

are you looking for rifle parts the guy that normally has them in stock is http://thesmithshop.com/usfa.html

The Smith Shop does not carry any Uberti parts and none of the USFA parts are interchangeable with Ubertis.

Yes VTI is awesome. They do not have it on stock but have accepted a back order to Uberti. I can only hope the Force is with me.

I used the smith parts on my Uberti and on my original Colt Lightning, if you tell him which part you need he will normally know which will work and which does not.

Also talked to Taylor and Company. They put me on a back order but seem to be a little more hopeful Uberti might come through.

Tried The Smith Shop. Couldn't get anybody on the phone but the website doesn't offer any indication they might have the part. Evidently it was among the "improvements" made by Uberti to use a brace instead of the pin colt used in the original.

Try Tauras, I have order Thunder bolt parts

The locking brace on a Uberti is nothing like a USFA, Taurus, AWA, or Pedersoli

 

It is interesting you said you ordered parts for the Thunderbolt from Taurus. When did you order them? Did you get them?

Eldon Penner, El Rod, in Nevada is still making and selling Lightning parts. He just donesn't work on rifles anymore.
