Howdy!
I'm new to the forum. I'm new to the CAS world (long-time fan, just starting to participate). I've had a Pietta Remington 1858 for a couple years now, and love it.
I got back from a recent trip overseas and as a welcome-home gift to myself, I purchased the charcoal blued Uberti Colt 1860 Army from Taylor's.
It is a BEAUTIFUL pistol, and I can't wait to shoot it. I took it apart to clean off the packing preservative, and when I put it back together (getting that barrel back onto the frame was a serious PITA! The wedge was easy but where those two prongs from the frame enter the barrel assembly just didn't want to cooperate!) I noticed what may be a timing issue.
Unfortunately, I don't know if it was like this prior to me putting it back together. It may just be my OCD kicking in, but before I take this to the range I wanted the opinions of the professionals on whether this was "within spec" or if I should get this looked at. You can see that the chamber is off-center by a fraction of an inch.
I apologize for the cell phone photo, and the size, but I wanted it to be as clear as possible.
So am I just being too nit-picky or should I be concerned?
Thanks in advance!
