Uberti Yellowboy - Needs some serious TLC
Got kind of a beast on my hands here. This is a Uberti 1866 Yellowboy, .38 Special, that my father picked up some time back in the 1970s and hasn't touched since. It appears to be an older, out-of-production model in that it has no lever hook/latch and has an 1894 type grip/battery safety. Serial number is in the 16xx range and it was imported by Navy Arms.
I don't particularly want to have to send it back to Navy Arms for repair, and I'm quite competent in replacing the parts myself. The question is, will current production parts even fit this? If not, will I even be able to find them anywhere?

Numrich has some parts, but not many. You will likely end up getting Uberti parts and fitting them.
Here's a diagram for parts and nomenclature. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/...spx?catid=9012

I don't think Navy Arms even exists any more, although Val Forgett's son lives in West Virginia and is still selling off inventory on eBay and possibly Gun Broker.
