Just got a used Pietta and the cylinder arbor is loose. Not falling out of the gun but it wiggles when the cylinder is not in place.
Can anyone point me in the direction of any info on tightening said arbor.
Thanks
Pics later when I get the chance.

There was a thread on here that I read - there are lots of ways of fixing this, but on my '51 Navy I used an automatic center punch to tighten the frame around the arbor where it appears in the hammer cut. That has lasted hundreds of rounds.. here's a similar one - explains all the options.
