Folks,

Shot my 1851 Navy brass frame Sheriff's Model yesterday. Experienced a chain fire, I think due to poor cap fit.

Now the arbor is loose. To get it tight I have to turn it about 10 degrees, which of course, prevents the wedge from going into the arbor

How does one fix this and still maintain a shootable pistol?

Did I turn it into a wall hanger?
