I'm wondering if my '58 Remmie (brass, made by Pierino Ruschetta[PR]) is smaller than normal.
There are two reasons I ask.
1. The grips always seemed too small for my average sized hand. It always bumps my middle finger on the trigger guard when firing it, and even just holding it.
2. I developed a bolt drag line around the cylinder. I suspected a too early bolt rise, so I took the gun apart and see that the camming leg of the bolt is pretty worn. Since no one has PR parts any more, I ordered a Pietta parts kit from Cabelas hoping I could use the Pietta bolt and hammer. It turns out that all the parts are dimensionally larger. I don't mean they need fitting, they are larger so they are beyond fitting.
