Any tips to remedy the situation. I've cleaned everything, and I'm afraid to tighten anymore. The stocks fit appears very good.

What I have done is epoxy bed the stocks for a perfect fit on a specific gun. You only need to do the points where a little extra wood would have stopped any movement. If you do this, just be sure to use a release agent of some kind on the revolver frame. I have just used whatever gun lube was handy on the frame to prevent the epoxy from adhering to the frame, etc.

If you do not want to permanently alter the original stocks with epoxy, then you have no choice but to try some aftermarket stocks or perhaps some of the reproduction stocks found on eBay. Otherwise, to tighten the fit of the factory stocks to the frame, epoxy is the way. Definitely coat the frame with a release agent, otherwise the stocks may become a permanent part of the frame.

A bit of dykem on the frame, tighten the stocks, fire a couple of cylinders. When you remove the stocks the high spots will show on the frame. You can either remove metal or wood to make a perfect fit.

Or, bed the stocks as mentioned.

Or, add a bit of skateboard tape (emery paper with self adhesive back) to the frame. After you tighten the stocks use a sharp knife to remove the excess.

Of the three mentioned, I normally use the first one for a permanent fix. The second one for a fast fix and the last for a temporary fix to see if I like the stocks or revolver.

Had an aftermarket pair that shifted a little while shooting. Put one side on and noticed a slight gap in one spot. Thin strips of masking tape filling the gap took care of any movement.

I used thin strips of Duct Tape on the frame to stop the movement on a pair of Altamonts I bought for my 629. Seems to have worked firing 44Spl. loads.
