I have a uberti cattleman and want to put those colt rubber/plastic single action army grips on it. Has anyone tried this? Im not sure which generation of grips to buy to fit to the uberti. I assume i should find 1st gen colt grips because the uberti is supposed to be a copy of the 1st gen colt...

i have a set of calipers and checked the sizes so im sure the bolt is a hair smaller than the cylinder notch there is only wear on the lead in not on the flat side of the notch i will take some pictures tomorrow

didnt work so i loosened the screw a full rotation and there wasnt enough tension left on it to push the bolt up so i tried it at a half rotation and it pushed up the bolt but there was alot of right/left cylinder play waaaaay too much so i tried 1/4 rotation and same problem it seems with...

i recently picked up a pietta 1860 on sale at cabelas the revolver locks up just fine but i think the bolt is coming up too soon while cocking the bolt is sized correctly i checked but on the lead in on the cylinder groove is starting to peen a little bit just on the edge of the groove at...
