Shim/s on a Webley pistol breach pivot.......

May I ask if anyone has successfully used a shim/s on a Webley pistol breach pivot/joint screw?

Cheers,

Hi.
Yes, my tempest .22 is shimmed on 1 side because of play.
It shoots great now.
Only downside, you may get out of range of yr horizontal adjestment of rear sight (cause its shimmed on 1 side)

hi yana,
that's very interesting. thank you for replying.
may i ask what size of shim you used on your tempest, and where did you obtain your shimms?
regards,

I couldnt answer what size shim. My gunsmith did it.
I presume he used VERY thin shims, like for the HW breechsides
