I have a customer that was going to send me two Bisley frames for grips. I got an email from him saying that with the extra things he does for the 5 shot guns he was having trouble pulling the frames and might have to get Bowen to do it?
Does anyone know what this problem might be? Myself, I just can't imagine but then I don't have a Bowen 5 shot Bisley conversion.

I've had Hamilton build me four Bisley's so far, non of them five shot though, and I can't imagine what he could be referring to??

My 5 shot Bowen Bisley comes just as easy as a standard Ruger. Not sure what the problem is, perhaps Loc-Tite as noted above. A properly fitted screwdriver should work fine even then. Mine has no Loc-Tite.

Is he aware of the two allen-head screws at the top?

Dana Aw, come on....... nobody is that dumb. ;D He said something about a support block that Bowen puts in his 5 shots that he has a special tool for to make it easier. I still can't picture what this could be. It sure would help if my customer would post a picture of his Bisley frame here, without the grips on it of course. |

Only thing I can think he is talking about would be the bearing block which is used to hold the cylinder bolt against the frame rail but its attached on the main body and has nothing to do with the grip-frame.
Sounds to me hes a little nervous about taking it apart/putting it back together himself.

The picture below shows this third screw (furthest to the left) that holds the bearing block in place. It, in no way, interferes with the removal of the grip frame as I have removed mine as noted above without a hitch.  |

Love that Lace Sycamore Box ;D
I gave a sizable piece of that to Hamilton thinking I could get some more, and haven't seen any since....

Does Freedom Arms use any sort of bolt bearing block?

Cary,
You remember correctly as they are stabilized. I just took the shine down a bit with rottenstone.
