Dressing the spacer gets the barrel lug and frame to meet -

Now all you have to do is dress the spacer to get your endshake.

So, I'll dress the arbor to get my "endshake" and all will be good.

The thinness of the forcing cone on the Dance would dictate absolutely NO conversion cylinder for these revolvers!!!
