New Uberti Stallion - pics and a few questions....

Shortening the leg on the bolt worked great and now it snaps right onto the ramp as it should. I also discovered that another cause of the timing and lockup issue, was the bolt is way too tight in the cylinder notches. Fitting it into a couple of them and it would actually stick! , II got a little carried away and took too much off one side and its a bit loose for acceptable cylinder play for my liking. I have a new bolt on the way. Anyone have any suggestions for a method of shaving a couple thousandths off the bolt side, when you dont have a machine shop?

I use a set of honing stones from Brownells that are made to fit the slots in the SAA. Even on my USFA revolvers, I've had to slick up the sides of the bolt. These stones work perfectly. They also let you hone the hand slot.

They aren'r real cheap, but I've had mine for a couple years and they will last many more with care.

Thanks! I do need to get some stones someday. I was under the impression that the stones don't really remove much metal though. I will need to take a few thousandths off the width of the bolt, at the very top, where it engages the cylinder notches.
