Reply With Quote"Lil Jon" at Colt said he can fix that....I think they drill the old one out and put a replaceable one in. Of course they may have to re-nickel the cylinder.
My 1983 Colt SAA .44 Special with factory numbered nickel cylinder has a little more play to and fro than I care to tolerate. It's not horrible but i'd like it tighter. It has the fixed bushing, of course. Can these be replaced and then a new one fitted to the gun after getting pressed in the cylinder? Or do they have shims for this? Thanks

Check Brownells. They have shims for the Smith & Wesson and I have used them on Colt's and reproduction pistols to tighten them up. On reproductions I have counter bored the pin hole in the cylinder and turned a bushing to fit. I would never do it on a Colt because it is a Colt. Shimming will help prevent further wear to the cocking hand until you can let go of the revolver for a few months to get it fixed.

Matt,
Either of these is what you need:
SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER GAS RING SHIMS - Brownells
CYLINDER BEARINGS - Brownells
