Default Cylinder wobble's on the yoke.

I recently picked up a used Model 36 online.

After getting it home from my transfer dealer, I begin to look it over. The gun had been reblued, but wasn't any big issue as I wasn't looking for a BBQ gun.

What I did find, was when I gave the extractor rod a sharp jab with my thumb the cylinder slid back past the frame stud.

At first, I thought it was most likely over polished or very well worn. Upon close inspection, I found the cylinder wobbles on the yoke at the rear. Approximately 15-20 1000th's of an inch anyway you want to move it. This is what is causing it slide back past the frame stud.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,


Murphy2000

The crane is bent and the cylinder shaft is worn. If not too bad, the hollow shaft can be swaged for a tighter fit. The crane can be straightened easily, with the right tools and technique. Repairing or replacing the shaft is a job for a competent gunsmith, probably not all that expensive.
