Just curious. You haven't said anything about the usual pin that keeps the cylinder arbor from turning.
Was it there on those two? I have an older '51 that doesen't appear to be drilled and pinned. On all my others, the locking pin is evident when you pull back the hammer.
Just wondered if they have changed the method of holding the arbor in place (Loctite ?), and the same guy missed doing that on those two at the factory?
Don't know who you were dealing with (chain or Local Gun Store), but they might haggle a good deal with you rather than sending them back as defective.
If they are not pinned, but could be fixed with a drop of Loctite and were discounted enough....I'd be tempted. And if the wedge hole in the arbor and barrel line up when the arbor threads jam tight, that might be the case. You may need to fuss with the short arbors anyway.
Swing deal on the pair? Just a thought...
