I wouldn't count on them all being made by Uberti. Check the manufacturer's mark on the gun. ASM (symbol ASM or SM), older Piettas (may have letters FAP inside a diamond), & Euroarms (Armi San Poalo, or letters DGG superimposed inside a circle) can be spotty in quality. The more recent Piettas (last 2 years maybe?) are better than the older ones.
