A collection of posts often on colt E- and I-frame revolvers: pythons, model 357s, officer model specials, etc. Topics not limited to: action jobs, fixing Bubba-gone-wrong gunsmith mistakes, and revolver porn. And sometimes I'll wander off the reservation and type random nouns and verbs that have nothing to do with our sole purpose, because who the hell can really pay attention that long?

oversize bolts
I've been getting bolts from Popperts with oversized cams.
If anyone knows how to fit these I'd be interested in hearing about it. I've ruined a couple. While the last two worked it'd be nice to have a method. The shop manual seems to assume the bolt cam is already pretty much how it should be (with minor modifications).
Here's some pictures comparing to a bolt I pulled out of a python. You can see the cam is bigger in every way.
