Tight arbor fit

[Hawg]

Don't try to fix the arbor until it starts going together easier. Mikes fix with the screw in the end of the arbor is to have an adjustable wedge not to fix a short arbor.

Thats what I was thinking Hawg.

Mikes fix with the screw in the end of the arbor is to have an adjustable wedge not to fix a short arbor.

Yes I realize that. The screw head I'm referring to is the arbor spacer that he uses.

Gotcha.

The gun is an Uberti Dragoon  of 1984 manufacture so yes it does have a short arbor which is what I want to fix.

My plan was to do the 45 Dragoon fix, a number 14 SS sheet metal screw head in the arbor hole.

My concern is with the tight fit of the two parts, when sanding the screw head down and then dropping it in the arbor hole to check for fitment.

I believe 45 dragoon says to sand the head down till the barrel and frame meet then do your final arbor sanding to get your endshake.

But if I happen to sand the screw head down a little to far and then force the two assemblies together would I not already be too short.

Maybe I'm overthinking this.  I'll go back and reread the Shop Series thread again.

Thanks everyone

You are correct sir but, after the frame/ barrel lug  come together,  you need to start paying attention to the endshake.  If you get to .004"- .005" with the wedge in, THEN use the JB and mount the spacer. Now you zero in on the endshake by dressing the end of the arbor.
