Uberti London Model

A few years ago I bought a Uberti London Model and I don't know if it's the Maker, the Model or if I just got a really good one, but the action of this Revolver is without a doube the best I have ever experienced! The cocking motion is effortless and light!
Do any of you have this model with similar action jobs?
I am wondering if I just got lucky and had Uberti's premire actionworker do mine?
No matter what, it's a Jewel!

I believe this:

Italian replica percussion revolvers follow a strictly Gaussian distribution. For every lemon there's a corresponding jewel; the rest are somewhere in between.
 
Mykeal's wisdom bears repeating as I whole heartily agree:

I own seventeen Uberti revolvers, and have had exactly one problem with one of them I bought about twenty years ago. All of them are great. Nice, tight actions that are butter smooth. I own one Pietta. Also a great gun. Though not quite as smooth.
 
London

Back in about 1975, Navy Arms imported about 200 - 300 1851 Navies.
They were marked London on the barrel. The proof marke are under the loading lever. They had a blued squareback grip. They were not marked with the NA name.

They were to be sold to a distributor in Canada. After the guns were in the states, the deal fell though. They were then sold at the standard 1851 price in the Service Armament store and at the Ohio Gun shows as a non cataloged item. They were ordered from Uberti with "better" fitting.

They were noticably better than than the other 51's but not as slick as the navies that Colt finished.
