Rapid Repair!......
This afternoon I came across some data that would date my Uberti Flat Top Target. I pulled it out to check, and as I cleared it I noticed the cylinder not locking up. This told me I likely had a broken bolt spring. So, out to the shop and digging into its innards I found sure enough the bolt spring was broken. Unusual break, in that the leg was not broken, but the break ran from the bolt hole through the crotch between the legs. I had a replacement (from a repair ca. 1978 of an Iver Johnson Cattleman when I had ordered a spare) and had it in place shortly. Time from diagnosis to working again was less than twenty minutes!
The gun dates from 2003, incidentally.
