I just purchased a few days ago a brand new uberti cattleman .45 colt and have already ran into a problem with it. First off the revolver has only had a full cylinder shot through it but I have worked the action a whole lot. I just noticed that the bolt doesnt want to fully engage the cylinder (like the bolt spring doesnt have enough pressure to do so) whether it is at full cock or with the hammer foward. It doesn't do this everytime but it does it enough where I can't trust the gun.
My questions to you are would I be better off to return it to the factory and wait weeks or months to get it returned to me or should I do the spring replacement myself? I guess it should be noted that I feel very confident I can do the replacement myself. And are there any companys that make a more reliable spring kit so I could possibly replace all the springs in the gun to keep this from happening again? Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
