Two, actually. First was the dovetail wedge that holds the loading lever in place on my 1861 Navy fell off and was lost in the grass. Talked to Uberti, and they said they'd send me one. It's an old gun but has been shot only 12 times or so. The technician was read the serial number and was surprised it was so old (and I guess out of warranty.) After explaining I'd had the gun for 10 years but hadn't shot it, the operator said OK.
Second was my OTHER 1861 (the new one) was the hand was too thick which jammed up and wouldn't allow the cylinder to rotate. It's never been fired. My gunsmith buddy filed it down and now it works fine. I put the newer barrel on the old frame, but the two aren't necessarily the same and the wedge wouldn't interchange.
