Default Fitting Lefever Barrels

Anyone ever fit a set of Lefever barrels. I have a project I am working on which if the barrels can be fit should make a good shooter. Below are some pictures of the current condition.

You might try backing out the “ball” in the front of the receiver that the barrels pivot on.

Please know that I’m NOT a gunsmith.

The ball hinge joint should be backed off and the barrels can the be seated/fitted to the frame. When they are “there” the ball is tightened up to lock them in place.
