“Eliminate Endshake – Get Your Revolver Back on Target!”

Step-by-Step Guide to Fixing Excess Cylinder Endshake on a Revolver

1. Start by making sure the revolver is unloaded and the cylinder is open.

2. Place the revolver on a flat surface and use a feeler gauge to measure the endshake. If the endshake is more than 0.004 inches, you will need to fix it.

3. Remove the cylinder from the frame and inspect the cylinder stop and the cylinder stop notch. Make sure they are clean and free of debris.

4. If the cylinder stop and the cylinder stop notch are in good condition, you will need to adjust the cylinder stop spring. To do this, you will need to remove the cylinder stop spring screw and the cylinder stop spring.

5. Once the cylinder stop spring is removed, you can adjust the tension by bending the spring slightly. Make sure to bend it evenly on both sides.

6. Reinstall the cylinder stop spring and the cylinder stop spring screw.

7. Reinstall the cylinder into the frame and check the endshake again with the feeler gauge.

8. If the endshake is still too much, you may need to replace the cylinder stop spring with a stronger one.

9. Once you have adjusted or replaced the cylinder stop spring, check the endshake one more time with the feeler gauge. If the endshake is within the acceptable range, you have successfully fixed the excess cylinder endshake on your revolver.

How to Diagnose and Repair Excess Cylinder Endshake on a Revolver

If you own a revolver, you may have noticed that the cylinder has some excess endshake. Endshake is the amount of movement between the cylinder and the frame of the revolver. Too much endshake can cause the cylinder to bind and can even cause the gun to malfunction. Fortunately, diagnosing and repairing excess endshake is relatively easy.

First, you’ll need to diagnose the problem. To do this, you’ll need to remove the cylinder from the frame. Once the cylinder is removed, you can check for endshake by placing a feeler gauge between the cylinder and the frame. If the feeler gauge slides in and out easily, then you have excess endshake.

Once you’ve diagnosed the problem, you can begin to repair it. To do this, you’ll need to remove the cylinder stop from the frame. This is the small metal piece that holds the cylinder in place. Once the cylinder stop is removed, you’ll need to remove the cylinder crane. This is the metal piece that the cylinder stop is attached to.

Once the cylinder crane is removed, you’ll need to inspect the cylinder stop and the cylinder crane for wear. If either of these parts is worn, you’ll need to replace them. If they are in good condition, you can simply clean them and reassemble them.

Once the cylinder stop and the cylinder crane are reassembled, you’ll need to adjust the cylinder stop. To do this, you’ll need to use a small screwdriver to turn the cylinder stop screw. This will adjust the tension on the cylinder stop and should reduce the amount of endshake.

Finally, you’ll need to reassemble the revolver. Once the revolver is reassembled, you can check for endshake again by using the feeler gauge. If the feeler gauge slides in and out easily, then you’ll need to adjust the cylinder stop again.

By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and repair excess cylinder endshake on your revolver. If you have any questions or need help, don’t hesitate to reach out to a qualified gunsmith.

Understanding the Causes of Excess Cylinder Endshake on a Revolver and How to Fix It

If you own a revolver, you may have noticed that the cylinder has a bit of “endshake” or play when it is locked into the frame. This is a common issue that can be caused by a few different factors. In this article, we’ll discuss the causes of excess cylinder endshake and how to fix it.

First, let’s talk about what cylinder endshake is. Endshake is the amount of play between the cylinder and the frame of the revolver. It is measured in thousandths of an inch and should be between .001” and .003”. If the endshake is greater than .003”, it can cause problems with accuracy and reliability.

The most common cause of excess cylinder endshake is a worn or damaged cylinder stop. The cylinder stop is a small part that holds the cylinder in place when the gun is fired. If the cylinder stop is worn or damaged, it can cause the cylinder to move around more than it should, resulting in excess endshake.

Another cause of excess endshake is a worn or damaged cylinder pin. The cylinder pin is a small pin that runs through the center of the cylinder and holds it in place. If the pin is worn or damaged, it can cause the cylinder to move around more than it should, resulting in excess endshake.

Finally, excess endshake can be caused by a worn or damaged cylinder latch. The cylinder latch is a small part that holds the cylinder in place when the gun is cocked. If the latch is worn or damaged, it can cause the cylinder to move around more than it should, resulting in excess endshake.

Fortunately, fixing excess cylinder endshake is relatively easy. The first step is to inspect the cylinder stop, cylinder pin, and cylinder latch for wear or damage. If any of these parts are worn or damaged, they should be replaced.

Once the parts have been replaced, the next step is to adjust the cylinder stop. This is done by loosening the screw that holds the cylinder stop in place and then adjusting the stop until the endshake is within the acceptable range.

Finally, the cylinder should be checked for any burrs or rough spots. If any are found, they should be smoothed out with a file or stone.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix any excess cylinder endshake on your revolver. If you have any questions or need help, don’t hesitate to contact a qualified gunsmith.
