BLUESUNSHINE Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hi Andy , i live in Melbourne . Do you live anywhere near ? It would be great if you could have a look at it and let me know what you think . Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Hi Vince , ive had a look and there is indeed two discs but there are three holes in each disc . The holes surround the firing pin hole in a triangle pattern . Any ideas ?? Also i cannot for the life of me find a date code . All i can find is 12-70 in an oval surround with one open end . Anybody any idea what these numbers could mean ?? Yes, thats a Ugartchea action. I was wrong about the number of holes. They make them for sale to other makers as well as fitting to their own guns. The bright finish is a give away. Its a good action, it should be sweet and trouble free. 12-70 means 12 bore 70mm cartridge (2 3/4") as said before.

Vince Green Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) You have a great action there, It should be lovely and sweet. Just get some snap caps and always take the pressure off the springs when you put it away. Ugartchea springs are a bit soft but if you look after it it will be a gun to leave to your grandchildren. Just out of interest, how much did you pay for it? Edited October 25, 2009 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labstaff Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Did you get it from Melbourne Tackle and gun? I've bought a shotgun and rifle from them and their service is excellent and the prices are great too! I'd highly recommend them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody any idea what these numbers could mean ?? my Ugartchea has the caps with three holes around the firing pins and has the MG on the barrells and thanks to help from others here I see mine's a 1976. So far I'm very pleased with it for £40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88b Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Disc set strikers. I can't believe how much I've learnt on this forum I was told they were for easy removal of the firing pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Quite right. Disc set strikers are removable with a special tool allowing access to the strikers (hammers) for easy removal and replacement. Without disc set strikers the only way to access the strikers is to dismantle the entire gun by removing the stock and taking the action apart.
