Cylinder problem

[Dead Eye Dave]

I have a Uberti Remington 1875 Outlaw in 45 Colt.  The cylinder spins well when there is no ammo in it.  When then there is ammo in it, it gets hung up on a couple of chambers.  Please forgive me my ignorance in terminology for the following.  Today I had sit set at a half cock and the same problem occurred.  I noticed after it was empty that the hole where the tip of the hammer comes through to strike the cartridge that there was, for lack of a better term, some brass residue or almost a dust there.  Could this mean this is where a burr is?  If so how does one get a burr out of that.  Its a good shooting pistol and I am thinking that if I get this fixed this will be a very good cowboy gun. 

Thanks in advance

      I have two of the same guns, Remington 1875's in 45 long Colt , there Uberti, and I got them from E.M.F., both my guns had the same problems , when the gun was empty the gun's worked fine , as soon as i would load them they became hard to cock, and the cylinder didn't want to turn , and sometimes would lock up, if i would point the gun to the ground it would work a little better , the cause of the problem is , WITH THE CYLINDER OUT, where the loading gate meets the back of the frame where it's on a pivot, there is a HIGH SPOT , you can feel this high spot with your fingers by running them over the back of the frame, you need to remove this high spot with a file , as soon as you get it down to the same plane as the frame you're problem will be solved, what is happening is that high spot is RUBBING on the case head of your bullits, although some didn't seem to be a problem most did , but once this high spot is gone, both my guns worked fine, if you don't want to do this work yourself , have who ever sold the gun to you fix it , the gunny at E.M.F., TOOK CARE OF MINE , SO good luck with this , once fixed you will love this gun , the Remington 1875 is a one of a kind for sure.

Ten Wolves,

I was able to use my Dremel and do what you suggested.  I used it on a low setting and touched the rear facing very lightly.  I put some cartridges in it and it spins just fine now.  Amazing.  Thanks again.

  Thats great Dave, and so are those Dremel tools, now theres nothing stopping you from getting out there and breaking that new gun in, the 1875 Remington is really a well built sixgun, enjoy Pard

Went to the range today and the pistol worked great.  People on this forum know all about cowboy guns.  Yea!

I used a fine, flat stone to remove this burr.....and removed the burr a couple more times down the road  until the shootin-iron was fully "broke-in".

Best,
Slim
