I posted this a couple of weeks back: "If inserted too far, the barrel wedge on my new Cimarron/Uberti 1851 Navy prevents the cylinder from cycling. It has to be backed out almost to the edge of the spring clip before I can cock the gun. My first Uberti 1851 cycles perfectly with the wedge inserted in any position. Any suggestions on what needs to be adjusted/trimmed? Thanks." The overwhelming response was that the Uberti pistol has a short arbor.
My question now is can I continue to shoot my new Cimarron/Uberti 1851 Navy as long as the barrel edge is not inserted too far and the cylinder is free to cycle? My thinking is "enjoy the pistol now and I'll seek a permanent fix later". Thanks for your input.
