    No I`m wrong, the pins are press fit in the action, watched a Midway bit on stripping down a roller and the pins are taped out. So pins to action are size for size .454" and the holes in the breech and hammer are .455". Had to cut a lump off my lump so I used the swiss chees technique, that means a row of holes along where you want to cut, makes cutting a lot easer but still had to setup for milling it my scratch line come datum point, it`s getting there.
