A DH? That's the best looking DH I have ever seen. Looks like a CH to me.

Thanks for the advise -- it worked great! Home Depot does not carry the brass that thin and small -- had to go to a small local store -- got it in their craft supplies section. I do also think it'll work better then stainless: it's not only easier to bend, but any extra wear in the joint would be to that brass spacer, not to the gun. Now the barrels are tight -- almost too tight, as the fishtail lever is pretty tight now also. Should get better, once broken in.

Thanks.
