As the title says. I am trying to make a rearloading firefly. So far, I have replaced the barrels, drilled out the back, replaced the seal to work with the larger openings and lubed up everything really well. However, The turret no longer rotates as it should. This causes the gun to only fire correctly when I manually rotate the turret to the correct spot when firing. (When I do this the ranges are about the same as my non-rearloading, barrel replaced firefly)
Any advice on getting the turret to rotate properly? SOmething I may be doing wrong, or something I am not doing?
Any help would be appreciated.

Pictures would help. It's possible that the larger seal is causing more friction than the rotation mech can overcome. Try locking the rotation mech so it can't skip.

Their may be too much friction generated by your new seal, the standard rotation mechanism for the firefly is pretty weak. Go ahead and upload some pictures of the internals, it'll be easier to troubleshoot with them.
