Hey guys! I am the owner of a Colt Navy revolver, and of course it has a wedge that holds the barrel to the frame. I am wondering though, how far should the wedge go in? Also, how tight should the wedge? My wedge only wants to go in until it just passes through the frame and out the other side. looking at the gun from above, with muzzle forward as if one where shooting it, the wedge sticks out alot on the right side of the gun and only will protrude about 1/32" on the left side. It's also really tight.
So what exactly is the ideal "wedge depth" for colt open top revolvers, and how tight should they be?
Thanks for the help!
