Uberti 1861 colt navy help
Hello, I have a uberti 1861 colt navy revolver I completely dissembled and reassembled today for cleaning purposes and I noticed at the end of assembly when I was function checking that the hammer will only go to half cock when the cylinder is not in. Once it’s all put back together it functions perfect, it will go all the way to full cock and so forth. I can’t remember if it’s suppose to do that or is it suppose to be able to go to full cock with no cylinder? Thanks

I had something like that happen years ago. If I remember correctly, it was the bolt (cylinder lock) was coming up to high when there was no cylinder in place. The back arms would interfere with the cam on the hammer. Try pushing down on the bolt.

It will go into full cock with a little force it’s almost like a sticking between half and full cock. If I put a little pressure on the hand with my finger it will transition to full smoothly

The hand is binding against the arbor when the cyl isn't installed. If you have a dremel you can relieve some material on the arbor.

Thanks Mike, that is right Uberti doesn't relieve the arbor at the hand slot any more. I have had to do it on my new ones.
