Carolina Clint, SASS #76965 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Somehow the little washer that seats the grip screw on my .38 Uberti Schofield unwound itself somewhere and is lost. The result is that the screw sticks out too far so you can't grip it without the screw digging into your palm. Can anyone point me to an aftermarket gun parts dealer that would carry these teeny-tiny washers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I don't see a washer listed, but here is a place to source all parts available. https://www.vtigunparts.com/store/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=35&cat=Uberti+Schofield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooligan Howes Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 It's called an escutcheon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Is it Item 44 CodeUB:150044 Description Uberti Left Grip Nut (1875, 1890, Schofield, Laramie) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that, but I thought that was a non-threaded insert (escutcheon). The OP specifically said small washer so I wasn't sure if there was one or not.

Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I have found some similar items in the specialty hardware bins at hardware stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP specifically said small washer so I wasn't sure if there was one or not. It most likely is the escutcheon missing. (translation of parts nomenclature can be a bit confusing at times) If that part (44) is missing from the left grip, the screw will protrude from the right side. 2 minutes ago, Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L said: I have found some similar items in the specialty hardware bins at hardware stores. That might be a less expensive & easy fix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolina Clint, SASS #76965 Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Thanks everyone. Thanks you you cowpokes I was able to order my missing part (and some spares) from VTI. I had ordered from them in the past and totally forgot about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
