I own a Uberti made Winchester 1873 saddlering carbine. Just before Christmas I had the BRILLIANT idea of trying to get a dust cover that fit a little .... "prettier." Well, that did not end well. So I'm back to putting things together again as they were before I was beset with the stoopidz.
Trouble is this; this cover slides back and forth over the ejection port and there's a small ball bearing and spring under it for friction, so it doesn't slide by itself.
In replacing it, I have "launched" the original parts. I then launched the fabricated second replacement parts.
So ....I ordered a proper replacement parts from VTI GUNPARTS.
That arrived over the weekend.
Guess what? You DON'T get a prize for the correct answer.
Yea .... the replacement set .... achieved orbital insertion around Epsilon Eridani VI a few minutes ago.
Does ANYONE have any tricks to keeping the spring/ball bearing down while sliding cover over it.
THREE new replacements are now ordered.
