wit you bro, and no offense, just please watch your descriptive language that might be misinterpreted by dummies to mean something not intended.
Ya, no kidding. That's why I think you guys that have the experience and the knowledge need to be a little more precise and descriptive, especially if you know you're dealing with someone without your knowledge and experience. Don't assume that your communication goes across as you envision it should. Failure to communicate usually resides with the communicator, not the communicatee. I see good intent here, but there's a certain amount of interference and/or negativity and/or assumption that the OP knows what you're talking about that are often getting in the way and those aren't helpful. But press on!! My sermon for the day.
Except I didn't "quote" it as meaning what I said, I just described how it might be "understood" by what I said -- two completely different things. And used to outrageous and excessive means by parties on both sides of an issue to misrepresent by means of a "quote". Too many words is a whole lot better than too few in getting a point across precisely and without misunderstanding.
Whew! Get up, go outside and breathe some fresh air. Jeez.
Exactly the kind of comment and sentiment that does this forum no good and does nothing either to improve the forum or to help new members that come here for assistance. You might benefit by taking some guidance from @45D reply to my post.
Note the difference in the gap width at top and bottom in the first picture. This occurs when a wedge pulls the barrel back and no adjustment is made to the lower lug.Perfect timing ( no pun!!) / example!! (Next on the bench!).
Here's a new Uberti (never been fired) Navy with max tolerances!!!
Beautiful revolver, wedge in all the way, bottomed out against the wedge screw. Vertical play of the barrel assy. arbor is tight.
This pic is "at rest" :

This pic is with barrel pulled up:

Notice the space at the barrel lug/ frame.
Even with this "short arbor" situation with a "generous" wedge slot combination, it will end up with a tight wedge ( same wedge), driven in, with a .0025" -.003" endshake.
( tallk about timing!!!!)

By wedge fully engaged I do not mean driven in to the limit of the off side shoulder., I mean to a depth that leaves no forward slack and will not back out of the barrel slot by firing on it's own. I have achieved this in short arbor guns by making the wedge thickness a very snug contact fit. I only use the butt of a screw driver to firmly seat my new wedge's and they stay put without and end fit arbor.
). Any problem there can be addressed by dressing the forcing cone.
In this case, the wedge slot in the arbor is out of spec. There is the slightest bit of the forward section of
the arbor slot exposed ( for the wedge to contact) when the revolver is assembled (it's as if the arbor slot had been filed forward). The "cure" in this case will be the "Wedge Bearing". The set screw ( Bearing surface) will replace the lack of material and give a nice surface for the wedge to contact. That will allow the rear of the wedge to force the barrel assy (contact surface) rearward to exert tension against the end of the arbor ( with spacer installed / arbor correction).

There's never any need to add material ( a spacer) to the frame / barrel lug butt joint ( unless "Bubba" thought some needed to be removed!!

No, it's above the slot. It's only there to keep the wedge from falling out when it's pulled out to the disassembly side. You take the screw out to remove the wedge completely.Is that hole that looks like it's tapped where the set screw goes?
I was thinking it would be in front of the slot. So the wedge would want to push to the rear.
But this is all new to me. I'm learning something here

Thanks, Mike
That's some hi-tek stuff there. Completely adjustable for "Wedge wear"
Some people have difficulty 'seeing' a concept without pictures.
it is not really that. 10 people could explain a short arbor and how to fix it. maybe only 2 of them can really make it understandable. they know what they are doing drone on and on and I know less after they are done. Blackie makes it so simple to understand and without a video it would still be the best explanation I ever heard. his video really dont show that much except the pistol taken apart the arbor then the washerSome people have difficulty 'seeing' a concept without pictures.
