Doc,
Nothing taken the wrong way. You are correct. Pietta seems to have found a way to get the arbor length right (mostly). Uberti won't even admit there's a problem!! I would say there isn't if -a. You don't care that the revolver isnt the same every time you assemble it or -b. you don't shoot but twice a year!
As long as the arbor has room available to move, it will. Until that is corrected, extreme accuracy, and tuning can not be expected or maintained. These (open tops) can be extremely accurate and as trouble free to shoot as a modern revolver. The Remies that you mention were a step in the right direction but they need a bushing (in front of the cyl) like Colt/Ruger/Rgrs.Spencer . . .
Most folks will never know or experience an open tops capabilities. They can be the smoothest, have the lightest action and one of the most reliable revolvers they ever own. (They're already the best lookin!!!)
I guess my point is, until you get the revolver "finished " (or fixed), it's like treating the symptoms instead of the problem.
