Fits USFA Rodeo(18/06/2015)
Had the bolt break in a USFA Rodeo. I was able to fit this bolt following directions in Kuhnhausen's excellent shop manual. No problems after a year of competition. Fitting is tedious.
Great product but DEFINITELY needs fit(14/03/2016)
I use these to replace cracked and broken bolts or if the original was fit improperly to begin with and there is too much rotational slop in the cylinder. Of course they CAN'T be 'drop in' as every single Colt is hand made and hand fit so you had better know what your doing or it may get ruined the first or second time you try to fit one. At these prices you only want to use one part per gun ........ :) .......
Well Made Bolt(10/06/2011)
This is a well made, properly hardened bolt with sufficient tolerances to be properly fitted to all 1st Generation SAAs I've worked on and I've never had one return for bolt breakage or any other bolt problems after using one of these bolts. I would certainly recommend it to anyone replacing a 1st Generation SAA Bolt. The only complaint that I have, and the reason it didn't get 5 stars, is that this item comes blued/coated - I've never seen a bolt that didn't require fitting so the bluing is something that gets removed anyway during the fitting process. The bluing (or possibly some form of ceramic coating) is just too hard and too well applied to use as a scratch coat in place of dykem when fitting. I would much prefer a bolt in the white, coated only with a rust inhibitor.
If only it was a drop in part..... :)(14/03/2016)
