I have a Uberti Walker with a problem. The wedge starts to back out after the first couple of dozen rounds. My usual load is 45 gr Pyrodex and a .457 ball. It gets to the point that, if it werent for the wedge spring catching on the wedge screw (like its supposed to) the thing would probably fall out after firing.
When I first got the Walker I shot a lot of 60gr loads through it, more than I should have in hindsight. :banghead: The arbor looks like it has started to get boogered up a little around the slot edges. The wedge slot through the barrel frame looks ok, but the wedge itself is showing some burring on both sides too.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any thoughts on a diagnosis and a solution would be mighty appreciated.
