Yes sir, It does start with P followed by 5 digits. Not at home right now and don't have the gun in front of me.
Abilene? I have an old model SAA made by Uberti for Cimarron. There is no sign of a set screw above the left screw hole. The date code is CN for 2015 and serial no. starts with a P. Are the old models still using the hand leaf spring? I have not disassembled it yet so hope tp do it tomorrow.
Just to help clarify, I'm attaching a photo of my 2016 Uberti Model P showing the location of the hand spring retaining screw.Hopefully that helps.CC Griff. I found the 2015 Old Model coil and plunger type hand spring in the same position as in Coal Creek?s picture. The bolt/trigger spring is the old type flat spring. I will probably order up a coil type to replace the flat spring.
I believe the "old model" retains the flat handspring, the rest of the Cattleman series has the coil and plunger handspring.
I'm afraid that I get confused sometimes by the terminology. The gun in my photo above, which has a coil hand spring and plunger, is a Uberti 7th Cavalry model with the screw through the frame to retain the cylinder base pin. Does that not make it an "old model"? CC Griff
