Uberti 1866 & 1873 Brass Magazine Cap Screw

Upgrade your compatible lever-action rifle or carbine with the SliX Cap Brass Magazine Screw. Precision CNC-machined as a direct replacement for the factory magazine cap screw, this premium upgrade improves corrosion resistance, simplifies routine maintenance, and helps keep the magazine spring properly centered for smoother, more consistent cartridge feeding.

Unlike factory steel magazine cap screws that can rust, seize, or become difficult to remove over time, the solid-brass SliX Cap provides dependable corrosion resistance while adding a classic appearance that complements Uberti lever-action rifles.

The integrated spring-centering design helps maintain proper magazine spring alignment as cartridges travel through the magazine tube. By keeping the spring centered, cartridges are presented more consistently to the carrier, promoting smoother feeding and more reliable cycling.

  • ✔ Promotes smoother cartridge feeding
  • ✔ Helps improve feeding consistency
  • ✔ Corrosion-resistant solid brass construction

Whether you're replacing a worn factory screw, improving magazine spring alignment, or adding a premium finishing touch to your rifle, the SliX Cap Brass Magazine Screw delivers a durable, corrosion-resistant upgrade that supports smoother feeding, easier maintenance, and years of dependable performance.

Brass Magazine Screw Cap
Peter - 07/30/2025
I always have had this on my 1873 rifles.
They mostly just look really neat and make your rifle easy to recognize.

The Springe holder stem is really helpful for assembly.

This is a quality product.
Very pretty

Magazine cap
Dave - 05/09/2025
Very nicely made. Fit perfect to my Uberti 73 rifle. I recommend this cap as replace, for the 66 and 73.
Brass cap
Greg Nelson - 03/03/2025
What can I say. It was a chunk of brass and it was threaded properly and it fitted right in. Although I may put a small drop of blue on it. It did start to get a little loose with use. At least I didn't launch my spring and follower down range.
Nice Touch
Inspector SASS 41400 - 08/10/2024

I wanted this just for a final touch on my uberti 1866 yellow boy. Arrived undamaged and adds that touch of brass to the rifle.
Nice Product
Whiskey Tango - 01/20/2024
Purchased these to 'gussy-up' a '66 & '73. Like the way they center the magazine spring. Recommend using a little grease or lubricant before installing.
Great replacement
