Is there a place that sells both the lighter spring kits and the hardened firing pins
Also do the 72s take the same Pins as the 73?
they are both Uberti. the 73 is a cattleman.
thanks

Firstly, it's a firing PIN and not "pen".  ;)

No, they are not the same style firing pins. The only maker of aftermarket '72 OT FP's is here:

http://www.thesmithshop.com/openfire.html

He does not sell spring kits for revolvers.

I like Wolff Springs.  www.gunsprings.com.   Look under Single Actions, Colt, Uberti Regulator.  The Uberti spring is a bit shorter than the Colt, so be sure to order the Uberti Regulator spring.  (Regulator is an old Uberti gun name, now called Cattleman.

Smith firing pins are good, as previously mentioned.

Thanks, Have both those places booked marked for Sprengs and Pins. thought maybe some sold both and maybe the hardened PIN for 73. I need both, have 2 72's that need the springs and pins and 1 73 that needs new pin.

VTIgunparts has firing pins for Uberti SAA (73) revolvers.  I believe they also sell the hard steel Smith firing pins for the Opentop as well.  If you don't see it on the parts list, call and ask Lisa there, she knows about as much as anyone in the world about gun parts.

Rick,

Before you replace your firing pins (the new build are quite good), first replace your main spring(s).  There may be no need to replace the firing pins and once you get those Dodge Ram pickup springs out of the guns, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I ordered both, and will have the PINs for back ups. :)
