Numrich now has Colt D Frame bolts!

Thanks for the heads up on Jack First. When I asked about this revolver a few years ago, this forum told me it was a wallhanger and so I missed the boat on Jack First (first I've heard). I just checked Numrich and it seems like someone bit, because they are now sold out. They were a New Arrival when I bought mine, so that means they went FAST. The page I looked at is at here: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufa...s-35751/DFrame-37997/PolicePositive-35911.htm
The bolt itself looked way oversized when it arrived, but it looked like any engagement surfaces should be fine, so I didn't mess with it and dropped it right in. Turns out, although being wide than the broken factory bolt I pulled out of the gun, everything else ticks just right. After I got it back together the cylinder seemed kind of tight on it, but about 30 dry fires seemed to get it working without any fitting. I wish I had bought a spare because I am not aware of any other company where a D Frame bolt can be purchased from old stock, new stock, for trade or barter, or even a left hand. If Jack First specifically keeps in stock Colt D Frame bolts, then I think there are a lot of people out there who need to know!!! In my research that appears to be a high failure prone component.
