1858 Uberti Questions (Video)

[Osseon]

Hello there! Made this video with some questions regarding this revolver, hope you can help!



For those that can't watch:

• Lever wobble normal?
• Fixing scratched off finish with Van's blu, will it match existing bluing?
• Is there a trick to aligning the pin to the cylinder when putting it in, it seems difficult to align
• Where all should I put grease when I'm firing the revolver to keep it from fouling up, Beeswax + Olive oil fine? (works on my flints)

1. Is the lever screw tight?
2. Probably not perfect. I've only used Birchwood Casey
3. Cylinder out and back in on the right side is the norm. Rolling the cylinder clockwise while inserting will push the hand back.
