Re: Uberti 1860 problem
What if anything have you tried?
Here are some wild and crazy ideas... none from a gunsmith or even from someone who is mechanically inclined.
You said it has lateral movement, but not vertical; can you get a pair of needle nose pliers around it at either end to grab it and pull? Is it possible to get a strand of dental floss or wire under and up the other side to pull on it, maybe using a curved sewing needle? You might also consider crushing the center of the brass case with a screwdriver and hammer to make the cartridge shorter and possibly free it up (don't think it would ignite the powder), you might even use a small chisel to chip off a bit of the lead bullet to make it shorter.
Just trying to help. It is an unusual situation. Good luck.

Re: Uberti 1860 problem
CT_Shooter you had a winner, I used a length of fishing micro filament wiggled it around the shell, pulled up on it and on lever at same time and it moved a little. Did that 5 or 6 times and lifter released and lifter and bullet dropped all the way to the tube and I tilted the bullet all the way out
Thanks for the help, this forum is the best.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
