Dawg, I had to put shims under the cylinder bushings to take the slop out of the cylinder forward/back movement. Four shims, Brownells, .001”. If you ease the hammer down, my gun caught on a bur. It never failed to fire at full cock. I just address the bar with a diamond file. I like it. Uriah

Accord to Farsca & Hill, The .45-70 Springfield, they’re no definitive answer as to the star in the serial number. The authors guess that it could be an arm that was sent back for cleaned and repair. 1881-1882 stock dates. The same machine that was used for the serial numbers, I guess was applied. There’s no way it was a hand stamp, from the orientation of the star and the depth. A good arm. Uriah
