Hello everyone, I have breathed a lot of new life into my Uberti 1861 navy with a new arbor, and new timed action parts. The last wear point I'm trying to address is the loading lever.
The ratchet style loading lever seems to have side to side play while latched. I can hold the plunger and wiggle it slightly. I don't think I could do that when the gun was new many years ago. The plunger fits snugly over the lever and the screw is tight. It looks like the play is from the channel in the barrel where the plunger moves back and forth. Any thoughts?
