Uberti Richards Conversions: Reviews?
« on: August 18, 2009, 09:01:14 PM »
Hello!
    I'm thinking about either converting my '60 Army's or buying the Uberti Richards Conversions.  Does anyone here shoot the Richards Conversions?  Any major problems such as firing pins?  Thanks!

I have a '51 RM in 38spl, runs great!

Only problem I had is piercing primers, but I will be taking a stone with me next shooting trip and will fix that right up.

Which Richards??  Richards -Mason or Richards Type II??  Surprisingly, different breeds of kat.  Both may need work, but some more than others.  Which Guns??
