My 14 year old Uberti 1861 navy had a lot of wear and I just ordered a new one imported by Cimarron.
The main differences I can spot at a first glance:
The color case on the frame is darker, nicer and more defined than the old gun.
- The grip fitting is not as nice as my old gun; the wood is oversized and you can feel it all along the backstrap. The old gun was flush
Everything else seems the same, the arbor is still short and I'm currently sizing some washers to fix it before shooting it this weekend.
PS: I found that my old barrel had gained slop by the wedge slot stretching towards the bacl; it had been shot thousands of times but no heavy loads and no conicals.
