Need help, Uberti 1862 Navy Pocket .36

[Battis]

Wrist rolling, as opposed to wrist raising, makes sense. That's what I also do.
This is how I make my lube pills (lube sticks): hot lube poured down the barrel, pills cut as needed.

My wedges vary in different pistols. I just drive them in till the gun works right.

Great suggestion on the feeler gauges! Can you elaborate on how to adjust the arbor length with the wedge?

Thanks for the suggestion of the spare bolt/trigger spring. Going to order one as well as the hand spring.

I did fire the revolver yesterday with the wedge flush with the far side of the barrel. Using the suggested right hand technique I was able to shoot all five in a row without a cap jam. First time for that! The wedge did stay in place, which was my concern.

I fitted a washer in a couple of mine - biggest problem is remembering its there when you break the gun down.

The pocket pistols from Uberti are a mixed bag, you get a good one every now and then and sometimes you don't. Yours has multiple issues that are like the common cold of pocket pistols. Here's what will cure it: correct the timing, correct the arbor, install a cap post, action shield and action stop. I have seen a few that had a hand that was too narrow. They would flop over to one side and not cycle the cylinder. If you want to discuss it further you can PM me.

I did see the washer fix in a YouTube video!

Jackrabbit…I did notice in a number of threads that you have seen and fixed this a number of times. I will PM you.

I have seen work that Jackrabbit 1957 has done.
It looks like great work on the revolvers.

Trinidad Bill, have you solved the cylinder rotation issue yet?
