Hawg!!!
,
That is exactly what I was thinking as I read Richards post !! Lol!!
Richard, first gen arbors did bottom out in the bbl assy. I've been studying . . . .
and, thanks for the complement!
Soundguy, Good for you, that's the way to do it!!
Sourdough, Piettas are a good value for the price and they got the arbor situation pretty much right but the action parts are a dead ringer for the 1970's!! I still think better materials are used in the Uberti's , they have the right contours (heck, they supplied frames/ parts for the 2nd gens!!) and they have really nice action parts. If they fixed the arbor length, it'd sure make my job easier.
That's the biggest difference working on the two.
Pietta action parts need a lot of attention and the arbor is almost a "final tuning" thing.
Uberti action parts are much quicker to set up but the arbor takes more time. It's a trade off . . . .
After all is done I'd go with the Uberti. (The Pietta is a very close 2nd though!!!)
