New cylinder fit to a Uberti 62 Police

[M. De Land]

I picked up a new cylinder last year for my used, early Navy Arms Uberti, hoping it would be a drop in but it needed fitting to function. Finally getting around to it yesterday we got her going with some judicious ratchet and hand nose filing to operate. Alignment could be better but will work as it is safely although I doubt it's tack driving capabilities which this gun was not designed for anyway.
It still needs a bit of ratchet smoothing but is timed well and should give years of good service to me and who ever owns it next.
These little guns have always impressed me as to there big gun performance in a small package which was exactly what they seemed to be designed for.

Hi M.De ; could YOU clarify The term "hand nose"? AND IS THERE A "HAND FACE"?

I use the term to mean length although width is important as well but is usually already established in a factory part and is used as it comes. If I were to make one from scratch I would fit it as wide as would work smoothly in the chimney because width translates to length as well on the ratchet tooth back angle.

M.De ; Being visual learner most of my life, I need definite nomenclature for parts and their features in order to follow along intelligently. So here is a a picture to help me learn your nomenclature. Kinda like talking to View attachment 303763kid. Baby steps/ spoon fed, so to speak.

Also the "CHIMNEY" is the mortise that the hand and spring ride in? See terms like this help me to be as informed as I possibly can be.

That's what I call the nose. I've not used the term face before that I can remember, in regards to the hand/pawl. I would refer to the inboard or outboard, front or back side of it.

Thank you, I will log this in the data bank!
