I've been given a Uberti Cattleman as a bit of a "gunsmith's special". The bolt wasn't engaging. Disassembly shows that it's a broken trigger/bolt spring. East fix.
Problem is that the hand spring and extent fell out upon disassembly. It wouldn't ordinarily be a problem except that the retaining screw for said parts appears to be seized and won't turn more than 1/8 of a turn in either direction. The loading gate catch screw is giving me similar problems.
Any advice?
It's parkerized and it badly needs a thorough reoiling. The sooner I free up these two screws, the sooner it will be in action.
