Hello everyone, could I ask a favor from the colt/uberti repro owners that have their gun handy?
If you take your barrel off, look at it from above with the muzzle pointed up, and insert a straight object through the wedge slot, pressing against the end closest to the cylinder, where the wedge pushes against the barrel, is the slot perfectly perpendicular to the barrel?
On my repro (which I'm having fitment issues) the slot alignment is off. The right side where the wedge goes in is closer to the cylinder than the left. I am attaching a drawing of a "cutaway" with the top being the muzzle end, bottom being the cylinder end.
Does your colt have that? how pronounced? it's so bad in mine now that the wedge is having a problem clearing the slot on the left side of the barrel, so it doesn't want to go through. This gun is 10 years old and has at least 1200 rounds through it.
