There's an article floating around somewhere about how to make the gap permanent.

Basically, install the barrel on the arbor at 90 degrees and swing it down towards the frame. It should line up perfectly with the frame where it bottoms out on the pins. If it is too long, file the end of the arbor until you get the correct fit. If it is too short, you make a shim for the end of the arbor that you can then file until you get the perfect fit. In this way the arbor and arbor bore bottom determine the gap, and nothing else.

I've not actually done this procedure.
