Ive got a question that may have already been asked before,but I cant seem to find the answer.
First of all its been twenty plus years since Ive had/used a cap-n-ball revolver,so my memory has failed me(brain farts)on the subject.
Anyway,on to the question.
When installing the barrel wedge,how much air gap should be between the cylinder face and the forcing cone of the barrel?
If my memory serves me somewhat,we used to use a piece of typing paper between the cylinder face and the forcing cone.Install the wedge until there is a small amount of drag on the paper.Seems I remember that the air gap between the cylinder face and forcing cone should be .005" or less.
Now I dont know if Im remembering all this correctly or not,so if anyone can correct my information please do so.
Thanks for the help folks.
