Hi Al, Yes there is. Some carriages have been enlarged slightly by owners cleaning rust or whatever. On my large carriages I intentionally enlarged them a bit so diamond B's that are slightly swelled will fit, I find it better to do this than to remove the nickel plating from the pot metal reproducers. Of my four large carriages one was enlarged and three were original size. I enlarged two of them and kept one original that way slightly swelled reproducers will fit. The difference is not visible to the eye, but it can be enough for some reproducers to fit. Does your O have the nickel plating on the part that fits into the carriage? If so and it almost fits I recommend enlarging the carriage. If it has already been worked on you can have it machined, John Nagy does excellent work. On my carriages I used a Dremel tool to enlarge them. Steve
