Not much though, as they're Razor Sharp. So if you're not carefull while pullin um off, they'll Bite ya Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rance - SASS # 54090 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Good lookin' Yellowboy County Jr. If the loading gate tab hasn't been reinforced?? it will probably break off.. at the most inappropriate time.. It ain't "will it break or bend??" But "when will it break or bend.." Fix that and yer probably good to go.. Rance Thinkin they all seem to do it..

Just reinforce the one you have (the one that's in it) with JB Weld.. There has been many many topics on this ol' wire on how to do it..

I’m pretty sure I’m the first owner so everything is gonna be stock. Per your advice I checked other forums and pages. For guidance on the reinforcement. Waiting on it to cure. Then I’ll smooth it out. Thanks again for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I was at an indoor range and among all the bolt & black rifles on the rack for sale was a Uberti 1866 in 45LC. Asked the fella behind the counter if I could shoot it in the range - Yep. Chambered 5 rounds and only the 1st round in the tube would chamber. Went back to the counter and told the fella - It's Broke. Consignment price was $575 and asked to call the owner with a price of $425 for his broken rifle ... End of story $21 for a broken lifter spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throckmorton,23149 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 mine had that funky rear sight also, and it was the 1st thing I changed. Had to mount a sight reversed as those models are sho sort between the slot and receiver. Not a big deal, it works fine. Nice score ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it’s not ladder sight like a 1860, so less adjustment, but I feel the flip down was serviceable. I also like the flip up for distance and thought the peep would be great for fast sight acquisition in SASS where it would be speed over accuracy. What did you get?

Rance - SASS # 54090 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 County Jr. Slip your side plates on and Make sure that your carrier slides easily (up and down) by your reinforced area.. Just looks like your ramp comes back quite a ways.. Rance Just sayin.. Yer gettin' there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to be perfect clearance. After that I put both plates on and worked the action seems perfect. Thanks again for the heads up on the load gate.
