I have always said that fitting the arbor end in it's well is a good improvement but that it is not critical to good accuracy and that short arbor guns have been an will continue to be in use for decades.  I know this to be fact because the majority of the reproduction guns made over six decades since their reintroduction in the 60's have not been end fit nor ever will be and are still operating. Production arbor end fitting did not commence until Pietta made the change to CNC driven machinery about a decade ago and the number of "tuned"/corrected guns is and will remain minuscule in comparison to the number of those sold. Pietta is improving this but until Uberti gets on board short arbor guns will remain in the hands of the shooting public by the additional hundreds and perhaps thousands annually.
