by the way i am jealous dude cause your shop is better organized than mine. LOL mine looks like a twister came through! Actually it's my dad's shop and I've been trying to get him to clean it for years. But then again, I get free use of it so who am I to complain. -Lee www.singleactions.com

The best thread I've ever seen on any gun forum. But one thing I didn't see.....how do you index when cutting the bolt stops and ratchets? Can you explain if it doesn't take too much time?
I can't imagine any of us here not turning absolutely green with envy when viewing that machinery, let alone the knowledge to use it.

I know I am, and yes, how does one index the cylinder to cut ratchet stops?

Makes it look easy! All we need is several hundred thousand dollars in tools, a place to put them, and a skill set acquired over a lifetime....... How hard is it to keep the bolt notches, ratchet, and chambers in sync?

Glad you guys like it. The indexing part would be very hard to explain in a thread. -Lee www.singleactions.com

Lee, how far below centerline do you run that key cutter for the cylinder stop?

I'm guessing that numeric read out comes into play somewhere in the process.

Well gang yes it is very hard to follow and pretty much a waste of time to try to post the indexing. and its hard for those people who aren't involved in the machining trades to understand the indexing heads & rotary tables that both Lee and myself use regularly but don't feel bad because rest assurred that there is a generation of "machinists" out there that can't follow it either because they only know a CAM system that they feed an engineers drawing to and the CNC mill that does all the work. i have been fortunate to have learned it both ways. and even though i get to work with state of the art equipment at the plant, i actually enjoy the "old fashioned ways"much better!!
