Sorry, but I must call B/S on this statement. The only swabbing on the 16"ers was a wool fleece sleeve to the chamber only. They did have an air ejection system for the remaining propellant gasses. Source, USS New Jersey 1985-1987.

Here's a second vote for RotoMetal's Bismuth/Tin alloy. Pure Bismuth is soft but very brittle. Tap pure with a hammer and it will shatter, add tin and it smushes.

I knew there was an H in the name. :doh: ;)

I'd start with a flat toothpick. Probably won't need much more.

One more Q,,,is the lock square with the world, or is it slightly tipped in at the bottom. A small shim at the bottom will have a large effect at the hammer.

Looking at the patchbox, Ultra-Hi comes to mind. However it should be a two piece stock. Does the lockplate seat solidly against the barrel?

How about some pics of the rest of the rifle, maybe some one will recognize the maker.

As long as the wedge doesn't bottom out on the screw side,,,,everything is good to go. The bunnies🐰🐰 need to watch out for the axe.

Found the Italian website. PR is actually Pierino Ruschetta .

Short arbor syndrome. Make a shim for the arbor hole in the barrel. Try for ~.002" barrel cylinder gap with the wedge tapped into place. Also check that the cylinder face is square with the arbor hole.

Measure the cylinder from the arbor hole out. It sounds to me like the arbor hole is off center. ASM did have some QC problems.

That's not a RA, it's a PR. Ruschina? I had an Italian website bookmarked,then I my HDD went bad.😢:doh:

Didn't know you don't have welding capability.:( Most towns have at least one welding shop or a business that can do it. Some of the guys would do that kind of fill weld for a six pack.🍻

Weld it up, file it down, redrill from the backside. Trying to hand drill a curved surface is a pita, on the backside the bit will be less likely to wander.

OK, now I'm stumped. I didn't see the empty hole the first time around.:doh:

Upper attachment point for the rifles sling. There is a swivel on the butt, but the pics don't show a matching one on the fore end.
