This component secures the revolving cylinder of the Uberti Cattleman revolver, a replica of the iconic Colt Single Action Army. It acts as a locking mechanism, ensuring the cylinder aligns correctly with the barrel for each shot, and prevents it from rotating out of time. This crucial part is essential for both the safe and accurate operation of the firearm.
Proper function of this mechanism is paramount for safe handling and accurate shooting. A secure lock-up minimizes the risk of accidental discharge and ensures reliable bullet ignition. Historically, robust cylinder alignment was critical in single-action revolvers, enabling their widespread adoption in the American West. This part’s reliability and durability contributed significantly to the legendary status of the original firearm and remains a key feature in modern replicas.
