For "them as runs" Uberti 1860s ...

I've been reading posts and watching Youtubes on correcting all the grievous ills of the Uberti percussion revolver until I am blue in the face and fairly confused. Don't have the money or the time to have them corrected by a pistolsmith, or the tools to complete a Pettifogger fix, so here is what I propose to do: degrease, clean and re-oil with Ballistol, break all surfaces, deburr and "de-fang" the hammer safety notch to reduce cap-sucking, per Mike/Duelist54 using an Arkansas stone. Install Slixshot nipples. Commit armed robbery to secure a small supply of caps.  ;)
I may consider dropping a 5mm washer or two down the arbor hole to pay homage to the notorious Uberti short arbor issue.
Then I will just shoot the danged things and hope for an outcome that isn't totally humiliating. Sound like a plan?
