Warden Callaway Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 It may be common knowledge and I'm the last to know. But I was looking at Uberti parts on Taylor's web site and stumbled onto retrofit 4-click hammers and triggers for the Cattleman II guns. Reasonable priced too. https://taylorsfirearms.com/catalog/product/view/id/12766/s/old-style-parts-kit-for-uberti-retractable-firing-pin-revolvers/category/464/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Well, at worst you were the second last to know! Yeah, great price. I'll bet they have a hard time keeping them in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I was just thrilled to see that they had a rear sight for my 66 in stock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Pretty good sales plan. Sale you a gun with a goofy action. Then sale you the parts to fix it. But at least there is an option available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Graybeard Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The last I knew...they didn’t have the old style setup for the shortstroked smokewagons. I got one of each the last pair I ordered. After about a year...had trouble with the new style one. Was told not able to replace the new style with old style. Weren’t making the old style parts. Will have to see if they have old style parts now. Shooting Rugers now...probably won’t go back for more Uberti’s. Very happy with the Rugers.

Goody, SASS #26190 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Y'all help me out. I may have asked this before, if so I apologize for being redundant. Just looking at the pictures the only difference I see is the plunger that is activated by the arm on the trigger that pushes the firing pin and holds it forward to fire. Is this the way of it? Why couldn't you simply remove the actuation arm on the trigger, drill a hole through the hammer and firing pin and put a cross pin in to fasten the FP to the hammer. Then remove the plunger assembly from the hammer. Am I not seeing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Goody, I don't recall exactly how they did it but several folks have defeated the new system in more ways than one, so yeah with a little skill that can be done.

Old Man Graybeard Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 There is a rounded part on the trigger that when pulled actuates the rod going up behind the firing pin to hold it out. I think on mine the curved piece on the trigger bent down a bit and wouldn't hold the firing pin out far enough. The rod that goes up through the hammer looks kind of like a long 73 firing pin. On the thicker part there is almost like a mortice cut and a pin holds it and a return spring in place. The firing pin also has a mortice cut with the retaining pin . I took the actuator rod out and cut a piece of drill bit to put behind the firing pin to make it like a solid pin. Got it trimmed to where the firing pin protrudes about the same as on my other revolvers. Haven't had any trouble since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
