Uberti Bolt Question

[MikeM.]

Will the Smith Enterprises bolt for the Colt first generation saa fit my Uberti model P? Can somebody give me a tutorial or recommend a video on how to fit one? Going to attempt to take some side to side movement out of my revolver .

A bolt block may be all you need. Unless you have perfect chamber / bore alignment with all six chambers, you need some side to side play so the forcing cone can do its job.

What is a bolt block and is this something I can do myself?

   A BIG PLUS ONE for 45 Dragoon you betcha.

It is best to first run a Range Rod thru the bore and into each chamber to check chamber alignment.  You might ask 45 Dragoon to send you a photo of a Bolt Block.  I don't have one laying around or I'd post it.

Oh and no, I don't know if the Smith Bolt will fit your Uberti.  I rather doubt it as the guns are dimensionally different.  Extensive fitting may be required and may not fix anything.

Thanks Mike!!

 Thuther Mike!
