Overcharge Damage

One thing. I have found the front faces of the yokes vary a bit from gun to gun. I think each of them were finished on the frame. Also a yoke/cylinder combination may need some fitting to a frame. The length off yoke barrels vary a bit as does depth of center hole in cylinder. You may have to shim the yoke a bit to eliminate endshake or shorten yoke barrel a bit to get it to fit. This can actually be done with a fine file and some Prussian blue. Flat file end of barrel a few strokes, put some Prussian blue on it, place on cylinder press together and turn remove cylinder and high spots on end of barrel will have blue wiped off. I am actually amazed at how often the actual carry up so cylinder locks in place in rime is good. Not always but quite often.
