What is a “blocked action”? What is this modification supposed to do for us? What does it look like when the grip frame removed?
Can someone post or send me a picture.

A bolt block limits the horizontal movement of the bolt. This removes any excessive play due to an oversized bolt "window". It also helps to thwart "throw-by" (cyl. over rotation) and THAT helps to protect the cyl. locking notches. A "bolt block" in conjunction with an "action stop" is an excellent way to extend the life of your action.
I install a bolt block and an action stop in every revolver I work on.

If I've ever seen this addressed, I don't remember the answer. Why is it uncommon for an OM to be blocked? |

Mike So, the Bolt Block has been explained and shown, but how about the Action Stop? Or have I missed something? |

Thanks CraigC for posting the pics.
In the picture you can see the block laying beside the bolt. It is kept in place by a "keeper" that I form out of the combination trigger/bolt spring. The trigger side becomes the keeper for the block, the other side (bolt side) becomes the keeper for the new coil trigger and bolt spring ends.
The action stop is typically a set screw installed inside on the trigger guard. When the hammer reaches full cock, the flat mainspring makes contact with the set screw and stops any further movement. On a Ruger type action that uses a coil and strut, I make an adjustable stop that installs under the "keeper". When the hammer reaches full cock, the strut contacts the adjustment screw.

45dragoon sums it up pretty well - to some extent, shimming can be almost as effective without the cost of a custom gunsmith..
