Pietta Peacemaker clone, how do I get the cylinder to rotate each way?

I know how to do a Ruger, but I'd like to do the mod on the new Piettas that I have. I'm really pleased with them, but you only have to go one degree too far and they won't eject without turning the cylinder all the way around.

          Your Pietta Colt SAA clone is doing exactly what it's supossed to do, even  the New Model Ruger Vaquero is now made like the Colt peace maker, I like it this way, the cylinder indexes the way it was ment to , once you get used to this, it works very efficiently, thats one of the things I never liked about the old model Vaquero, was there free spin cylinder, you could just as easy go past a shell and not now it, indexing is more percise and lines up with the loading gate for loading and unloading.And you have to remember the Colt and the Ruger are two different guns altogether. Take care Pard and enjoy your Pietta clone their great guns..

Howdy, 4FD.

Ain't sure ya can't but I don't think ya can with a Colt clone. No tellin' how many times I've been thru mine but I know there are folks what pay more attention to 'em for such modifications than I do.

Gonna leave this here 'til tomorrow then move it over ta Gunsmithin'. Maybe get ya a better answer, or answers, there.

Simple.  You DON'T.

The Colt type action cannot be converted to "free spin."

Thanks folks, been away for awhile. Shot the guns at a weekend shoot and then for a week at our national championships. about three hundred rounds through each. Worked fine, and now I am more used to them. Great guns. Thriiger guards are a mite crowded for my big fingers though.
