Uberti 1860 Army hand spring broke

[Stephen_D]

The hand spring on my Uberti 1860 Army broke. Where can I get Uberti replacement parts?

TIA

I just find it easier to get a hand and spring and then match the hand to the current broken one so the gun will time right.

Some folks have better skills to fitting a new hand spring.

Cheers,

David

You might try:

Also, if you bought the gun new there might be a warranty or customer service policy where the seller will send you the part free.

In the meantime while your waiting on your new hand you might want to try a little gunsmithing of your own if you would like to shoot it today.

Take a "Bobbie Pin" and make you a replacement hand spring. use a knife blade and a hammer to knock the old broken piece out that is holding the old spring in and fashion your temporary one to fit in the notch. I had to do this many times back in the 70's and 80's whent the hand springs were terrible....................Bob

You can also pick them up at Dixie Gun Works. What I usually do is spend the 15 or 20 bucks and buy a complete set of internals. since most Remington internal parts are the same from gun to gun I have 2 complete sets on hand for repairs.

I've had good luck at replacing hand springs with springs I make from feeler gauge steel. The hardest part of the job is opening the slot to fit the new spring. I ground a small chisel with a long taper for that job.

I must agree with all the above i have also made my own from a flat bobbie pin. its not hard if you take your time and remove the varnish. my (new)spring has lasted me hundreds of rounds. :v
