Several years ago I had an email conversation with the late Tom Ball who accurized numerous Remingtons for the N/SSA competitors. He told me how to properly twist the barrel on my Pietta (barrel clamped in padded vise and use padded (toothless) monkey wrench on the frame near the barrel, index marks, etc.). He stated the Uberti barrels were epoxied in place and very difficult to turn but had the dovetailed front site unlike the Piettas with their peg type front sights. He was a generous man with his knowledge, skilled gunsmith and just getting into some Cowboy Action Shooting when he was killed in a car wreck a few months after my just getting to know him. A great guy.
