Hi all,
So my new Uberti 1858 Remington takes two trigger pulls - easy trigger pulls and hammer cock - to ignite a #10 cap. The first pull puts a small dent in the cap, the second fire its. (and yes, the caps were fully set.)
At least until I tightened the mainspring screw - half turn by half turn, testing at each turn. Now, after some 2 full turns, the screw is recessed into the hand grip strap and nearly three threads are showing! It does now fire the caps on the first pull.
Is it worth the aggravation to send it back to Uberti? I'm worried that the screw could end up getting stripped with perhaps half the machined threads no longer serving as a bearing surface.
thoughts welcome.
Meanwhile, Happy New Year
