High Standard DM 101 Barrel Wobble

Doc48 · August 27, 2017, 09:20 PM

Does anyone know how to fix barrel wobble in one of these little guns? It has some play where the barrels unit attaches to the L frame with a pin. I have not attempted to dismantle or otherwise perform any repair attempt. Thank you in advance!!

They were not very "tight" to begin with. Unless you have misfires due to headspace problems, it's probably fine.

Thanks for the response. Will try firing it and see how it goes. Doc

I removed the barrel assembly and gently compressed the frame where the hinge pin sits until the barrel assembly fit tight but swiveled freely. Reassembled the gun and it locks up nice and tight now. Thanks for all the interest!! Doc
