HELP!! W/ Pietta Colt Paterson

[Tanegashima]

I have a lot of experience with BP firearms and revolvers, however, I just bought this paterson and I simply cannot get the damn thing back together. The Barrel assembly simply won't align with the pins on the frame! Am I doing something wrong? Is there some special technique. This damn thing came with no instructions so I have no clue what to do. Help! :banghead:


Thanks much,
Niles

No worries, I figured it out, just use the multi-tool to push the barrel onto the pins through the tang slot...I feel so stupid...always the most obvious stuff huh...given my experience I feel even dumber...oh well...
