Joss,,,I have a cylinder to barrel space question.
Gunsmithing GUns of the Old West says .004 to .008 is proper for the gap space. I have a new Uberti Cattleman that is .009. Or well,,,a .008 guage will siip under and a .010 will not. I dont have a .009 guage leaf but it should be that.
The Cattleman is new, but you know how warrenty folks are,,I suspect they will not bother with it.
Is .009 unacceptable?
How would I state my concerns to the tech dept to have them replace the revolver.
Is it fixable without a 'replacement>;
Also, its new, unfired.
There is NO endshake,,,(back and forth on the pin movement) and no rotation slack.
The cylinder actually locks up more secure than any revolver iv ever seen, im just concerned with they cylinder to barrel gap.
Id appreciate your imput on this.
