Remington 1875 ejector assembly

Question for you gentlemen. The other day I disassembled and cleaned my Uberti Remington clone, and went ahead and pulled off the ejector assembly just to monkey with and get an idea for how it worked and operated. When I screwed it back on, I noticed that if you held it up to a light or a window, you could see an extremely small gap between the assembly and the frame, just enough for a bit of light to get through. Is there anyway to reduce/eliminate this gap?

It hasn't effected performance, I ran some more rounds through it just to make sure. But it's one of those things that is vaguely annoying me, and I figured I'd ask some folks with a bit more experience in old style six-guns, and Remingtons in particular, than me.

Thanks all!

Pretty common happening with ejector rod housings. They are often installed under tension and once removed are hard to put back on right without some fitting or really cranking down on the screw and taking a chance of stripped threads or a buggered screw slot. You might try clamping the gun in a padded vise to bring the barrel and housing together, but be careful; IIRC the housing on the Remington is pretty thin.

Ah okay, thanks for the info. Well, I'll give it a try with the screw, and if that fails then I'll find a padded clamp.

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone know if the Old Pueblo Saddle Company Slim Jim holster will fit the 1875 Remington clones?

Yeah, if you ask Allen to make you a holster to fit an 1875 Remington clone.
