You are right, Hawg.
I sent some steel frames back too.!! I look for lever smoothness (how the rammer slides in chambers) and how the gun cocks before examining anything else.
What I didn't like about buying guns (C/B) were the wedges too tight that were very unfriendly to newbees/ Nipples that wouldn't come undone- Hammer walls that dragged hammers due to burrs and poor craftsmanshift etc. Uberti was always more user friendly. (But not always) Alas! Some higher end piettas are great! I like the 3rd gen colt 51. 61 Navys, 49 pockets and 60 armys--they (all the ones I got) were pretty dang good as compared to the Piettas and Uberti-- I know you don't treat them as real colts but went well with customers. I too like them. Wish they still made them.
They were good-were they not?
