If your answer is NO, then both a fired case and an unfired round behave the same, and it's very likely in the action. That's why, when you ask on the Wire, you need to followup with the info that is needed to help you the most. But, since gun is at a good smith's shop now, you should have your answer in a reasonable period of time. Good luck, GJ GJ, I actually did answer Yes to your question the day you posted. Factory new Cartridges Chamber a nd extracts easily if unfired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to call Taylors on Monday and see what the process is to return it yo them. If I may correct this particular statement. These were not unfired factory that were difficult to chamber and extract. These were reloads. Again Factory unfired work fine both chambering and extracting.

shotguntom Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Received the rifle from Taylors. Tom, the gunsmith assured me the chamber is Fine . He felt there was something binding in the action. He disassembled and went through it. Test fired and stated all is good now. Dont know what he did honestly. It does seem smoother and easier to work the lever now. Unfortunately, I will be out of town until the 20 th. No chance to test fire it myself. He did tell me not to shoot any type of jacketed bullets in the rifle. Im a bit miffed on that. He said Uberti does not recommend them. Lead only. Anyone else heard of this with Uberti rifles?

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 You should be due a good explanation of work performed from any gunsmith. So that you better know how to handle related problems in the future. Sorry you did not get that. Personally, I would press for more explanation. Uberti proofs guns to SAAMI standards and above, because they also do the European proof testing. I have never heard someone warn folks away from jacketed loads in Uberti's. Are you sure you heard him right? Personally, I would be contacting Taylor's management for an explanation of THAT also. Now, if you got a warning not to use +P pressure loads in your rifle, that might make some sense. But jacketed rounds within normal SAAMI pressure limits? PSHAW!

Good luck, GJ GJ, Gunsmith definitely told me several itmes not to shoot jacketed rounds. Said that Uberti recommends against it. Only to shoot lead. I thought it didnt sound right. My rifle, while only fired 75 times, with mostly 38special, was manufactured in 2007. I got the impression from speaking to him being my rifle was older , and that he was swamped in the shop, and didnt want to get too deep into the rifle. The only cost to me was return shipping. If, when I actually get to test the rifle, the problem isnt resolved, I will push the issue with Taylors thanks very much for your take on my situation. I appreciate your help.

Lefty Dude, SASS # 51223 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I assume Uberti has had a bad case of defective 357 barrels with chamber issues. I know of One Cowboy Shooter who had this problem. Cimarron replaced the barrel on his Rifle. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotguntom Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Update on my rifle. Back from vacation and made a trip to the range this morning to see if my issue was resolved. Fired 100 rounds of mixed factory ammo. All 38 Special. Both FMJ and Lead RNFP THE RIFLE FUNCTIONS PERFECTLY. NO ISSUES OF ANY KIND. I truly thank Taylors for correcting the problem, though I still dont get why the gunsmith told me, several time not to use FMJ Ammo. Claimed that Uberti also say no FMJ. Never had any issues with FMJ in any of my toggle link rifle. Hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 There are higher pressure jacketed hunting rounds out there for 44-40, which are not recommended for toggle action rifles, made for newer 92/94 Winchesters and 94 Marlins and such. No higher pressure lead rounds that I have seen, so maybe they figure if you never shoot jacketed you will never encounter the higher pressure rounds.

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 A jacketed round does not equate to Full Metal Jacket. FMJ is jacketed. Not all jacketed is FMJ. FMJ is NOT usually loaded to higher pressures than other SAAMI compliant ammo. In some cases, FMJ is loaded to a lower pressure because ammo manufacturers don't expect serious defense work or hunting to be done with FMJ instead of soft point or hollow point jacketed ammo. FMJ ammo is not harder on a barrel than other jacketed ammo. I think there is a ton of misunderstanding between folks involved with your conversations about what ammo would be recommended for a Uberti 73 rifle chambered for .357 magnum. Now, back to the rifle. We would really like to know what problem the gunsmith found and believes he has fixed. Why not just stick to that topic? Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
