Update: I just removed the tumbler and this is what it looks like. The shaft itself is not twisted so that crosses that off. I still can’t tell if that shaft and tumbler are made as one piece or if the shaft is fit inside. I know on some guns that shaft is threaded but I don’t want to mess around and break anything. Does that shaft look to be lined up correctly?

The tumbler is all one piece.
|
Maybe the square shaft or even hole was built up with weldment and when fit back the angles were just a bit off.

Quite possible. This is the tumblers side by side. The picture doesn’t do a great job but you can see the square shafts are off. All the rest of the geometry is correct
|
Do they both have the same three-digit number stamped on them?

The last picture shows the problem. Now as to the fix.....
|
There are no numbers on either of the tumblers, the closest numbers are on the bridles, locks, and hammers and they all match
|
Just a thought but I'd check the firing pin for proper length and shorten it a little if it would still function properly. It may not be the original firing pin.

Update: I definitely found the problem. Upon closer inspection, There appears to have been a stress crack at the base of the square shaft and that weakened it and allowed it to shear/twist at the base of the square end. Only the end is affected, and I can definitely see a small twist at the very base. I can probably repair this but does anybody happen to have a left tumbler laying around they would be willing to part with? That sure would be easier.

Good to see you found the issue.
I have many tumblers on hand. |
