Let's Start a List: Chaparral and Uberti Production Problems
Buffboy:
I don't know how to vote in the pol, I see no way to do so. I don't particularly like the rear sight of my Chaparral. Just don't really like a deep V type sight and I'm not real impressed by the quality of it but it works fair. I am getting to where I can shoot this sight but it will eventually be replaced. That's it for problems, it functions fine, with loads it likes it is spooky accurate, and if the sights were better I'm sure it would be better yet.

I have a buddy with a Chap 76 in 45-60 that is "spooky accurate" as well. They are putting good barrels on those rifles! I think John Boy has one that is also a real shooter. ;)

I have a Cimarron Uberti 1876 4560 for 3 or 4 months now, shot 250 rounds through it.
It is beautiful fit & finish and deadly accurate.

The only problem I've had so far was with my NWMP SRC is the loading gate finish but I very quickly got a new loading gate. It is put away while I'm working on wearing this one out. ;) So, I voted Other Problem(s). I haven't found any other yet. The headspace issue... might be an issue of widely varying brass specs... ;D
BTW FWIW, I came to this topic and can't vote either. Only shows poll results. Did you set the time for the poll correctly?

My Uberti 1876 fom Taylors would not consistently chamber rounds smoothly. I had to really slam the lever to get the round to chamber. I stopped doing that quickly as I was afraid I might have a premature detonation. :-X I called Taylors myself, told them my problem and who my FFL was. They said send it back. I took it to my FFL and he sent it back. I had the rifle back within a week (no lie). Now it loads, chambers and ejects like a dream I was told by Tom the gunsmith at Taylors that the "tab under the bolt was squared off when it should have had more of an angle to it". He blamed this on Uberti and called them himself to explain the problem. I am suspecting the problem has now been fixed at the Uberti factory. I am very happy with the gun now. The wood to metal fit is great and the wood on the stock looks good. Taylors will stand behind what they sell so do not hesitate to send guns back if they arent working as they should out of the box.
Regards. Deadeye.
