A neighbor of mine has an old flat latch square butt Chief Special that has a cylinder play problem.
When the cylinder is opened it will slide fore and aft on the yoke.
I have seen this before in older hand ejector type revolvers, but never thought about a cure.
Is there a fix for the play in the cylinder? If so, what is it.
The cylinder play is causing him some concern. One local "gun smith" told him not to worry about it, and returned the gun to him. He wants to get it repaired, but wants to know if it a major fix or something easy.
Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
