I have a Pietta '58 Remington like that. I'm on my third hand, and I think I'll have to replace the bolt soon. I've tried to get the timing just right, and it never seems to work out. The bolt always contacts the surface of the cylinder before dropping into the locking notch. No problem, as you said, it's a working gun. After all, Colts were designed that way with a little ramp into the notch right? My Remington has been making it's own ramps for about 10 years now.
I understand that Pietta is a little better nowadays. Perhaps I'll buy another Remington to pick up the slack when this one is down. I kind of like the one with the case hardened frame and checkered grips...
