Howdy to the Camp
I just got an 1885 Uberti Highwall in 45-90 to do a Cowboy Chronicle aricle on. I know Sharps and Rolling blocks somewhat, but the Highwall I have little experience with.
The question is this: I could have sworn that when you work the action on a Highwall, the hammer cocks itself on the upstroke. This one doesn't. You must cock the hammer with youre thumb after cycling the action. Maybe I am just dreaming, but I thought it was supposed to cock!
BTW, beautiful gun with an Awesome trigger from the factory. About 1 to 1 1/2 puunds and sweet!
