I made this apature....works well for me

Get a few flat washers, add them to the arbor one or a few at a time after stacking them using a thin layer of crazy glue to hold them together and knock them off one at a time till you reach the right depth (hot glue stick wors fine, jus compress between each washer. Those hard corners on the...

Hey Mike, no problem, it's just a little Uberti Pocket Police so The screw should do fine for as little as I'm shooting these days, and I did misunderstand your reasoning for the screw. I've soldered washers on the arbor ends before.....I was being lazy (easier to drill and tap a hole) since...

Yes it did, and no I didn't (reduce the arbor diameter). I could tell because the wedge would not stop coming out the other side of the bbl when pressed in, plus when putting the bbl on the arbor sideways, it went past the mating point of the frame and snugged up like a cork in a bottle. Now...

Been watching this thread for a while and had the same problem with my Uberti Pocket police arbor being way short. I used Mikes method of drilling and tapping the end of the arbor and using a screw for the "washer". As you can see, there's a bunch of space to be taken up.

Thanks for the post, I had no idea the engraving style was copied off an actual leaf !!

The other gun is a Manhattan "Hero" with a screw off barrel

Tombstone is my go to grip place...they age nicely

I'm a little confused, 2 pic's of the rifle, one's right handed and the other is left handed...which is it?

Nice pic's and write up. I don't own one, but I've always admired the predecessor to this gun (can't think of it's name), it looks like a Colt that's been on a diet.

Easiest way to see if it's a European copy....pull a screw and check the threads

Thanx for the post, you never can know enough stuff !!

Nicely done and a great alternative.
