I thought the front lump on the lugs would be the problem. Has the rear lug worn so much it is no longer working and that allows the front lug to cam the barrels off face? If so is just removing metal going to allow both lugs to seat and keep the barrels on face? I’ll know in ten minutes about the front cam/lug. I'll need to verify the rear cam is seating properly because half a repair is no repair in the long run. And a 150 year old gun deserves decent treatment. Who knows 1880 might comeback and I’ll be in fashion with this Osborn.
Update, Well it is back on face. Thanks Hugh. When in doubt, follow the smoke trail, or lack there of. It now is back on face and well cammed down. I got to say the Jones action is a very interesting way to close a gun. Simple, strong and not that hard to work on if it is not buggered up.
