For those of you that shoot ROAs, a pawl (hand) can be fab'ed from a Blackhawk (3 screw) pawl. These parts are extremely hard and can easily be broken if you try to stretch a worn pawl without heating it first. If you do break it, you can fab one from a Blkhwk pawl. It must be thinned to the demention of the original (they are somewhat thinner!). You also have to grind away the second finger and some material so that you can create a "reach" to closely match the original profile. Then you can shorten the pawl to the full cock/cyl lock-up length and restore (or for the first time) perfect timing!
I decided I needed to set up my 3 ROAs to have the exact same timing so I could look for any differences as things progress with a project I'm working on. Yesterday, I did the above operation to correct the timing on one of two that needed correcting. Fortunately, swapping the pawl of that one was all that was needed to correct the other one. Now, all 3 of the ROAs exhibit perfect timing.
