I have a brand new in the box, never been fired Uberti 1851 Colt Navy London model. It is a beautiful gun and feels wonderful in my hand, but I cannot remove the barrel to prepare it for firing.
This is a gun that I recently purchased from Midway USA. I can remove the wedge without any difficulty but I cannot get the barrel to separate from the frame. I have tried every trick that I know, including penetrating oil and using the loading lever and rammer to leverage against the cylinder in an attempt to slide it forward but so far nothing works.
This is not my first Uberti and not my first Colt reproduction but this is the first time I have experienced this problem. I would appreciate any advice from anyone who may have had a similar experience.
Thanks
