Have you ever run into this?

Hi folks,

 

I own a multitude of Uberti firearms, including many C/B and O/T revolvers. Finally got around to getting a new 1849 Pocket Model. When I received it there where a few problems. One was that I found the cylinder arbor forward of the cylinder was bent, this creating its own set of issues. I returned it for repair and upon receipt that they had not corrected the arbor but adapted to it. They stated in the return,

 

Note: The factory bends the base pin to set the cylinder gap and alignment.

 

None of my others have had this issue. Any thoughts?

The 49 pockets (and the little Remingtons) are a novelty gun and Uberti (and Pietta) makes and sells very FEW of them.  Almost every one I have handled did not work well out of the box.  Bent arbor for setting cylinder gap, never heard that excuse before. But, on the other hand, they aren't going to waste a lot of time on something they sell so few of.
