I. M. Crossdraw, SASS# 8321

MidwayUSA. Parts are available.

This seems to be that someone tried to modify the pawl to make the cylinder to be free spin. The pawl was modified without disassembly therefore the scratches (file marks) you see on the recoil shield of the Ruger. Filing an incorrect angle on the pawl will result on gouging the ratchet and sometimes will lock up the cylinder. The marks on the cylinder ratchet looks bad but changing the pawl to an unmodified pawl, the cylinder will function as it should. However the gouges on the ratchet may alter the shape of the pawl in time. Sending it to Ruger is a wise choice.

PM sent.

You can go on Marauder's Cowboy Page for some info. However if you want to do this yourself, WARNING: DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. You have to know what you are doing and have a very good understanding of how the SG works. If in doubt, have an experienced cowboy gunsmith do it for you as mentioned above. Good luck.

Or we can just call it LARGE VAQUERO or SMALL VAQUERO, to distinguish between large frame vs small frame. Just saying.

Yep picture provided is just upside down. But that is the part for a lever cam.

Seamus, you could've borrowed mine. Mine don't skip. But you have to shoot BP with it.

I joined a year before you and I'm still waiting for my gold pocket watch and pension. Okay Allie Mo, I'm going to my room now and will shush.

Rye, Are you trying to stir the pot here or what?

Sorry Allie Mo, I can only wear one hat at a time. I do own more HATS though.

Might as well mount a hat and coat rack on that wall. Available from Home Depot. There will be a place for your cowboy hat and holster rig. http://www.homedepot.com/p/liberty-27-in-White-and-Satin-Nickel-Tri-Hook-Rack-45CHHR-WSN-L1/205625688. or something similar with six hooks.

Put a cookie sheet under that Mec and it will keep most of your shots from falling on the carpet.

Lyman 55 works for me.

Prayers up for a great pard.

Uberti factory front sights don't have a bead unless it's been changed to a Marble beaded sight. Pioneer gun works has a beaded barrel band sights to replace the factory band. If you want to replace the bead you can get them from www.slixsprings.com and click on SLIX BEADS.
