Thanks guys,

I was down in the carport workshop while you wrote. Now I am back. I noticed the hammer hand would not retract all the way back and uncocked the point of it was poking out like a small burr when not cocked. I filed that down flush. I got it back in the frame by putting it on 1/2 cock and rotating cylinder with left hand and pulling back hammer continuously until it finally engaged and was able to line it w/ pin. Jeez-there ought to be an easier method. Should I take a litlle more off the hand? Hey, had very little experience w/ Rems but the piettas always dropped hammer hand back into the shield. This Uberti does not--and my 2nd Gen peacemaker does not either.
