Hi Pards,
In my next step in the DIY modificaiton of my Uberti 1873 I am looking at installing the Aluminium Carrier (probably from Longhunter). I have already installed the PGW Action Springs, Smith Shop Light Duty Mainspring and Coiled Safety Spring, PGW front Speed Sight, and flat top rear sight. I have also lightly polished the the carrier lever.
Is the Aluminium Carrier a drop-in replacement or is there fitting/timing modifications required? I've read several responses in other threads about the carrier requiring timing adjustments but then other responses say it's a drop-in.
FWIW the Aluminium Carrier from Longhunter comes in 2 sizes, one for small and for large calibers.
Also, does the Aluminium Carrier make a noticeable difference? At the moment with the work I've done now the action is quite smooth and quite light to work.
Cheers.
