Cabelas Uberti
« on: February 04, 2004, 04:51:05 AM »
These guns are about what I'd LIKE the pay a six-gun which will see light duty, but I don't want something so crude I'll regret spending even $279.
Unfortunately, from where I live, I can't just run over to Cabelas and see for myself, so your help is all-important.

One feature I truly want is for cylinder to stop in perfect alignment for loading/ejecting a round -- something Ruger lacks but which a Cimarron and an EMF I've handled have.

Many thanks for the help.

The Uberty pistols from Cabela's should in fact line up just fine for ejecting the empty cartridges. I've know some gus who are satisfied with the Mellenuim pistols. They do not have the fit,  finish and tuning of a finer gun but your not paying for it either. They do function and should provide good service for years to come. Uberty makes the pistols for EMF, Cimmeraon and Cabela's. They are all the same parts except that the cabela's pistol does not receive some of the detailed attention or quility of finish the others are but they do work.

One thing I would do before using the pistol much is to disassmble it and take the trigger bolt spring out. You will notice some milling marks on the edges of the spring. You need to take some black sandpaper of 240 grit or finer and sand on the edges to remove these milling marks particularly inside the end of the Ushape between the two fingers and outside the fingers at the area where the spring bends. These milling marks will cause the spring to break if they are not smoothed off. This fix will prove to greatly lengthen the life of that spring. I have had them break after as few as 10 cycles of the hammer but they last for a long time if sanded properly.

Just drop in one of the wire replacements trigger/bolt springs.  While you are at it, put a wolff mainspring in her.  44 Man

While I'm tempted to sand, as 44 man recommends, I'd nonetheless very much like to know where I could buy the mainspring you mention, West Creek Charlie.

Thanks for the help, guys.

Man.  I never saw that on Cabelas' site.  Would be pretty cool, but then again a Ruger Blackhawk can be had for $340, not too much more.

If this thing only had a longer barrel (I'd say about 7"), it'd be great (this spoken from someone who does absolutely no cowboy action shooting.  I just want a Western-looking revolver to plink at the range :)).
