Guest Whiskey Runner Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 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. Quote
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Have you tried VTI??? --Dawg http://www.vtigunparts.com/store/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=36&cat=Uberti+Lightning2+Rifle Quote
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 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. Quote
Wild Willi Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 are you looking for rifle parts the guy that normally has them in stock is http://thesmithshop.com/usfa.html Quote
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 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.

Guest Whiskey Runner Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 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. Quote
Wild Willi Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited January 5, 2017 by Wild Willi Quote
Wild Willi Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) PS If you buy a part and it turns out it will not work for you he will take it back cuz someone else will be looking for that part Edited January 5, 2017 by Wild Willi Quote
Guest Whiskey Runner Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 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. Quote
Guest Whiskey Runner Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 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. Quote
Wild Willi Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Try Tauras, I have order Thunder bolt parts Quote
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 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? Quote
Bailey Creek,5759 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Try a machine shop mite be a little pricey thou . Quote
Bramble Mountain Buzzard Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 I'd call Lassiter. He is THE Lightning Man!!! Quote
Outlaw Gambler Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Eldon Penner, El Rod, in Nevada is still making and selling Lightning parts. He just donesn't work on rifles anymore. Quote
