Hi to anyone who has a cattleman,either Uberti or Pietta.
I recently bought a Uberti Cattleman from online add.
By the time it was cleaned up I found the cylinder it was fitted with had .0030" end shake.
Sent to a gunsmiths who specialise in cowboy/cattleman and conversions to fit a replacement BP cylinder.
Got it back with one that has .0008" end shake which I'm being told is good.
Cylinder to barrel is .0012" when the cylinder is pushed back,.0003" when pushed forward.
I'm being told that even new from the box Uberti Cattleman have lots of endshake,only info I can find says this isn't the case.
Any experience shared on this would be very helpfull thanks.
I have Remington NMA's and ROA that have no endshake worth mentioning with .0003" cylinder gap being about the norm.
