Ashley D Austin Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Any recommendations on how to slick up Uberti El Patron Cattlemen? Have already put in Wolf hammer and trigger springs but the action is still heavy. Either how tos or a good gun smith who can slick them up.

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I've never thought Wolff springs were very light. Try putting a washer, like a #10 stainless split washer, or a piece of leather with a hole punched in it, between the spring and the frontstrap. This will lighten it a bit more. I generally do this regardless of which spring I'm using. If you ever have a problem with hard primers, it is easy to remove the washer for more power. If you still want it lighter and smoother, there are plenty of 'smiths who can work on it. Griner certainly but too many others to name. Where are you? If you can avoid shipping, that would be nice. There is a list on the site here somewhere of gunsmiths. Someone will link it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Check to make sure the tip of your hammer spring isn't rubbing on the back of the hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
