hey all,

new guy here looking for some help! ???

I have a Uberti 1873 cattleman that I picked up used from the local fun shop.  The pin that held the firing pin in place was EXTREMELY loose(almost falling out, I know the firing pin needs to be loose, but this was way too loose).  I ordered a new pin and firing pin from Numerich and replaced it.  Now it wont fire.  Looks like the firing pin is too short.

I called Berretta and they checked the SN and found that the gun is an Italian Import from before they bought the company or something like that so they could not help me.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find the correct pin??

Also, The cylinder is slightly off whack, so rotating it when loaded it gets hung up on the back of the rounds, any idea on fixes?  Am I better off buying a new gun?  I hate doing that though as the Uberti isn't worth anything trade in and I hate keeping a non-functioning gun on my pistol permit.....

Thoughts???
