I've been working on a single six '80s vintage. new stainless back strap, hand stropped elk grips, bulls eye ejector rod, 11 degree barrel crown and full internal shim's to include cylinder shim trigger shim hammer shim and a new pawl, not the free swinging type. The action is as tight as a drum.
my question is....I get cylinder drag from the bolt. Noting I can't live without, However... would a new bolt cure this?
The bolt drops exactly in the cylinder slot on full cock. (one notch is a hair's breath late, but almost right on...)
So, the bolt is not going down deep enough to prevent it from rubbing.
Is there a cure?
Thanks...Ken
PS. 2 1/2 inch groups at 25 yards. from a hand hold rest. so no problems with the gun...
