When I bought a used Henry rifle from a pawn shop and that rifle turned out to have been damaged by a previous owner, I called Henry just to ask if they'd be willing to fix it at my expense because I didn't expect any sort of warranty coverage but they insisted on fixing it for free and covering shipping both ways, saying that they stand behind their products all the way.<br /><br />Let Uberti know what you think and if you get a chance, ask them about their policy of not covering their older guns, especially ones where a gunsmith is willing to state that the problem was caused by the fact that the factory machining was sub-par.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-91361610877509532302014-03-01T17:16:23.930-06:002014-03-01T17:16:23.930-06:00That makes me somewhat reluctant to buy that Ubert...That makes me somewhat reluctant to buy that Uberti rifle I've been considering. If it's their gun they should stand behind it. Period. As an example I have a very old Sig P226 and I do mean old. I bought it used, probably 4th or 5th (or more) hand. When it quit Sig fixed it for free, no questions asked and I do mean none. They didn't care. It's ours and it's broken? Sorry about that. Please send it to us and we'll return it fixed.<br /><br />Irritates me it does.

That their GS engaged your issue instead of shirking - even though it wasn't their gun - speaks very well for their company.<br /><br />Thanks for the tip/link to VTI - I was not familiar with them. Back when my 21 year old son was about 3, I bought a couple of 1858 Remington repros at the Sidney Cabela's: an engraved holster model, and a Cattleman's Carbine. I've long wanted to get spare cylinders for both of them, so VTI might be just the ticket.an Donalbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418506325893352676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-60419622254018823752014-02-27T16:19:27.680-06:002014-02-27T16:19:27.680-06:00I'm glad you were able to find a local source ...I'm glad you were able to find a local source who was friendly, knowledgeable, etc - cool!Rev.
