I appreciate all of your knowledge and experience guys.
Looks like it was made by a teenage afghani gunsmith in an open air market…My goodness!!! That is one rough revolver!!
That may be a fix for keeping a wedge from jumping but it does nothing for a short arbor (just so folks don't get confused)!! Lol !!!

I have a cimarron uberti 1860 army that does not have a short arbor. My walker is also good. But I have a new uberti 1851 that is obviously short. I shimmed it but I couldn’t believe it as my first 2 Uberti’s were good. I have 2 Pietta 1860’s that have proper arbors. I wonder if Cimarron uberti’s are worked over because that arbor is perfect
other than a gun smith like Goons a quick fix that sometimes works is a #10 split (lock) washer held in place in the arbor hole in the barrel.NY Yankee. I am no expert but I do know Uberti arbors are short. 45D, on TMF, Mike of GoonsGunworks is a bonafide expert with these. He is also very helpful with explaining the issue and offering advice. I have a couple of Walkers and Dragoons myself that suffer from short arbor syndrome. If you want an 1860 without a short arbor then a modern Pietta 2010 forward 2022 do not have short arbors. If you are set on Uberti? Good choice by the way, but the short arbor is an issue. I’ll let the other more experienced chime in. Thanks Tim
I often hear that Uberti made Colt clones have a "short arbor" and that it is a "pretty easy fix". Can someone explain this for me as I am looking to buy one, maybe an 1860 Army or Dragoon.
