Smoken D Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Have a 73 Uberti rifle in 357. The firing pin extension is getting jamed/stuck when at full cock on the hammer. Kind of tough to bring the extension back forward. What's a fix? It may not be the hammer's fault, may be something that causes the jam when fully open.

Smokestack SASS#87384 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 If you hold the hammer down with your thumb while you cycle it, does it still stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Is the hammer full cock notch damaged so that the hammer won't go to full cock position and stay there, but it comes forward with the FPE, thus jamming it? If that is what is happening, you probably have damaged the "upper trigger" (aka, sear) tip or (less likely) torn off part of the full cock notch.

I bent lower tab on the bolt can jam the bolt in the receiver when fully open. No need to ask how I know as I am posting from personal experience.

Cat Brules Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Have you ruled out the weapon simply being dirty and the firing pin sticking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rock, SASS #44055 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 My daughter's 73 was ding the same thing. Fix was new larger diameter extension. Not all extensions are the same size as the extension hole, enough to lock it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW Held the hammer down to clear the extension and yep, gotta pop it back into battery. I watched that lower tab and could tell that was what was holding it up. To file or send back to Cody again that is the question. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To file or send back to Cody again that is the question. Ain't no question. A tab that is bent is GOING to break because it's 1. fatigued and weakened, bending it back would weaken it more, filing on it will weaken it more. 2. bent tab almost always due to poorly timed lifter (carrier) movement. If not timed properly, tab will break off next time the timing glitch occurs. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another $80 That REALLY says the timing needs checking. Twice in a short time. Ouch. He'll need the gun to adjust timing. GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
