Pietta/Uberti hammer question
(1/1)
RRio:
Will a Pietta hammer work in a Uberti? I need to change from the 3 click to the 4 click. ???
Coffinmaker:
:) RRio ;)
Unfortunately, I don't remember if Pietta/Uberti hammers were a direct swap. I do remember they were awfully close. However: Over the past 6 - 8 years the manufacturers have been making small changes. Worth a try. May well take some fitting.

I put a Pietta hammer in a Centaure frame. I had to thin it a lot. Maybe an eighth of an inch. Thank goodness for grinders. If I filed it, I would still be filing.

Use Uberti parts! Taylors website says the 4-click hammer/trigger combos are in stock, and the price is great:

As our friend Coffin relates, it might....
I will revert to my trademarked advice: "It Depends" ™
A lot depends on the age of the gun, the part, and the model.
I have literally swapped in an Uberti SAA hammer assembly into both a Pietta and ASM
1851 and 1860 frame with easypeasy success. You would not believe how smooth the thing was after!
I have also been totally unsuccessful with other frames and supposedly identical parts, just based on year of manufacture.
I am currently ( verrrrry slooooowly) grinding away at several parts (and filing the internal hammer channel in the frame) to make a frankenremington out of an unknown very old smaller frame I got very very very cheap. If I had started out smarter, I would have left the frame alone and just kept thining all the parts. But noooooooo I thought (always dangerous) that I would "fix the frame" so I could always use newer parts...
So, what is the make, model and year ? That can help determine ...
If it is late model and a cartridge pistole , your odds improve....
