Howdy:
I just bought two Howell (R&D) Conversion cylinders for my Ruger Old Army pistols. THe two cylinders are interchangable on three of the four pistols I have in possession However, on the fourth pistol both are very tight (one being near impossible to rotate). This leads me to believe that the fault is NOT with the cylinders, but rather with the pistol (a pretty early one). SInce I have all the mechanical skill of a toad, does any one have suggestions as to whom I might send this to or a gunsmith (sic, competent) in the St Louis are who might adjust the frame about a thousandths of an inch to accommodate the cylinders? Any info would be most welcom and appreciated.
