I finally got around to shortening the length of threads powder drum on a build I finished in Sept. (stuck too far into the bore and was causing fouling issues)
When removing the lock which when I put together had a great fit, not tight, but not sloppy, it took quite a bit of effort to remove it like if the lock mortise got smaller. Also when putting it all back together, I had to re-drill the hole for the lock screw. Even with the lock out, I could not push it back through the hole. The barrel is still in the same spot, the hole was still perfectly round, just a few drill numbers smaller.
:idunno: Any ideas?
