Kranks have a re for good service, but getting parts from Uberti has always been a RPITA. As you note, they have to make up a batch of parts to justify the cost, and maybe what YOU want isn't in that batch.

About a year ago I tried to get a couple of tang screw out of Uberti factory, and I'm still waiting for a response. The usual vendors of bits like this are Dixie Gun works in TN, fast and cheap[ish] service, or, even better for Pedersoli parts, Balasz Németh in his specialist BP store in Budapést - Kapszli-hu.com
