One of the design features of the Remington is that it is absent the ramp in front of the slot peculiar to Colt revolvers.

The revolver can be timed much as Colts are timed. If you have done this you already know how it is done.

The photos you request are contained in a series of articles under the pen name Larson Pettifogger for tuning Pietta and Uberti Colt clones. You can use these articles to learn how to time the Remington.

The articles address shaping the bolt face as well as positioning the legs of the bolt. They also discuss the interface between the hand and the cylinder ratchet. Do a search on the forum or either Larson Pettifogger ot Tuning the Pietta. I think you will find them. It is very likely that someone will post the links too. I am in a big rush or I would post them.
