To Tom Horn aka James Hicks,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I read all your posts concerning your gun barrel problem, and have not expected any help from Uberti, because I bought the rifle new, and in their booklet it specifies that if you're using handloads, the warranty is void. I'm just going to have to bite the bullet (oh, that's terrible), and order a new barrel and mag tube when I can afford it. Thanks to your info. I have already checked with VTI, and they have them in stock. At least I wasn't hurt, just angry and embarrassed. Thanks again for the kind words.
Dave
