WOW is that a nice looking revolver. I'm currently in grad school and hope to get one just like it in my hands some day, you really can't beat a Bowen made Bisley.

Wow, I'm jealous...nice wheelgun.
Bowen has had mine for 2yrs now, I ordered a octagon barrel though.

I'm a little confused. On the right side of the gun I see two pins in the cylinder frame. On the left side, I see three screws. Did Bowen cut screw head slots in the pins? If so why didn't he do the other side also?
But what is the third screw down by the trigger for?

The third screw holds in the bearing block Bowen uses on his line-bored 6-shot and 5-shot conversions., it takes the slop out of the factory Ruger cylinder lockup.

Some guys use a screw, some silver solder the bearing block into place. Bowen uses a screw. He cuts slots in the other two action pins to match the screw.
