Just got an Uberti 1860 and I noticed while taking it apart that the arbor wiggles a bit. As I understand it there should be no play in the arbor at all. I tried to drive the set pin in the hammer channel further to tighten it up to no avail. Any thoughts on this? I have considered removing the arbor to peen the shoulder of the arbor at the recoil shield but I don't have a drill press to remove the set pin. I have also considered using loctite 290 to wick into the threads but I'm not sure how well that would work especially since the ballistol I sprayed the gun with is probably penetrated into the threads.
Here is a video taken from the wedge slot end where is is most obvious.
