It seems that my fairly recent 1876 carbine came from the factory with a positive carrier slam down, which I find to be surprising. The carrier arm doesn't have a screw installed, but appears to be shaped to slam the carrier down. Has anyone else encountered that? Is that a new Uberti feature, or did I receive some kind of mutant? Not that I'm complaining...

Mine's pretty close, but with the lever completely closed and compressing the trigger safety, I can still push the elevator up almost an eighth of an inch.

Interesting. With the lever held closed, mine is solidly down.

Well heck ......
Uberti is sometimes like Veger (Star Trek the Movie). They learn........ but very SLOWLY.

Interestingly, when I got the rifle, it seemed to have a hitch in the cycling, which I traced to a kind of "knuckle" on the rounded (well, supposed to be rounded) end of the carrier lifter arm. I don't pretend to be a gunsmith, so I crossed my fingers that the knuckle wasn't supposed to be there and I filed it round. That made cycling much smoother. It's interesting that the lifter arm is set on one end for a positive slam down, but isn't even properly rounded on the other end...
