  1. There's all sorts of information on the internet, some correct, some wrong, mostly opinion. How many hours, days, weeks do you want to spend discussing it? Good luck.
  2. Short answer is no for regular matches.
  3. Bear, You may already know this but the Australian firm that services Rugers is NIOA, as listed on Ruger's website. The same outfit that bought out Barrett. Phone: 7-3621-9999 e mail: sales@nioa.com.au It's best to contact them as the problem seems to be over rotation of the cylinder, for what ever reason, but the "fix" may require some 'smithing.
  4. John, I checked mine and forget everything I wrote above. The spring set up on the Miroku is different than the Uberti. The right side (carrier) spring fits as normal, but the left side (lever) spring is backwards, i.e. the pin makes contact with lever differently. If you put them in and cycle the action you will see what I mean. I did note that the spring pins are thicker on mine (no action work done). It's possible yours may have been thinned out.
  5. John, Put this question on the Wire not the classifieds. Short answer to your question is the orientation of the springs should be as indicated on the schematic. I would contact the previous owner and ask.
  6. Bear, I'm not a Ruger guy, but it looks like the bolt is coming up before cylinder rotates into the locking notch. I had a Colt that had been worked on and if the pistol went to half cock and the cylinder spun slowly, the cylinder would, on occasion, under rotate slightly and the bolt would come up early. Has this happened before the latest match? Try to isolate the pistol that is having the problem, then go through the points Dale wrote. PS. Clean the revolver so that you may see if something is out of whack internally.
  7. Sorry, nope, incorrect info. Mine was made in 1990, before the cross bolt safety was introduced.
  8. I still have a pre '83 Winchester in45 Colt. The action was designed for rifle cartridges, so it isn't really suited for rapid fire pistol cartridges. I used it for one season, but went to the Uberti models after that. The '92, which I owned for a bit had smoother action, but it would have been better if it had been worked over.
  9. As I heard a long time ago: It's best to keep your mouth shut then people will only think you're stupid, as opposed to opening it and proving it.
  10. He did have a nice store on the upper East Side of NYC that sold expensive western wear.
  11. Had three cups already and spoke with seven folks in the neighborhood. Town guys stopped by to say they have to turn off the water for a bit to deal with a main leak: all this by 9:30 am. I need a nap.
  12. Been there for what seems forever. Not that anyone really notices it now. Looks like a Colt Python.
