I'd like to know more about the damage to the revolver.
I can't visualize how an arbor would be "bent" without showing up as an inability to assemble the pistol or an inability to get an assembled pistol to cycle.
Can you describe the damage or post som pichers.
Can you say how the arbor got bent?
Is the frame brass or steel?

The arbor was bent from shooting excessive loads and/or heavy handed cylinder ramming. It was my fault. No blame dodging here. You can cycle the firearm just fine. Assembly and disassembly is still possible but difficult (especially getting the cylinder on/off). The wedge is out of shape too. Keep in mind the "bend" is very slight, but enough that there is about a 1/2" cylinder gap now and the hammer is unable to pop the caps. The arbor is basically bent down slightly. This is a steel frame. Though I always here of people saying that ASM was known for their soft steel. This could be an example of that. I'm at work now, but I can post up some pictures this evening.
