Smithy Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Ok I ve everthing back together, but it had a free spin cylinder when I got it and that doesn'e work now, what did I do to it, Irish Pat That's the one thing that I dislike about my Rugers. When I put them back together I don't necessarily have what I had when I took them apart. Smithy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chambers Sass 4408L Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Put em a box and add some sippin whiskey. Take the box to Rudy and ask Big Daddy to come over. Give the guns to Big Daddy while Rudy drinks the whiskey and tells Big Daddy what he is doing wrong. When the whiskey is gone they will call Cookie, he has a friend who is a gun smith. William may be around and he can hide the guns and parts while you wait on Cookie. When Cookie has left with the box they will probably take you fishing which will make the trip worthwhile. Any questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackhawkPaul Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Send whole thingy back to Ruger including those "extra" parts that make no sense that were lying around after you put it back together. Then, when Ruger returns it fixed stock in 3 weeks, working fine, complain about Ruger service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll have Rudy hold the guns and I'll hold the whiskey. Have a Happy CowBoy Holiday Big Daddy Jenks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Rose, SASS #45478 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 When all else fails, read the directions. The booklet that came with your gun(if you bought it new) is pretty descriptive. If you don't have one Ruger will be happy to mail you one.

Driftwood Johnson, SASS #38283 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Ummmmm......... Let's be clear on what we are talking about. Rugers do not come with a free spin cylinder. The New Vaqueros comes with a pawl that can be modified to make it a free spin pawl, but stock, it is not a free spin pawl. If yours allowed the cylinder to free spin in both directions from the factory, there was something wrong with it. When you take it out of the box, if you open the loading gate, the cylinder should spin freely in one direction only. It should not spin freely the other direction. If it did, something was not quite right with the fit of the pawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Chris Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Well technically, the New Vaqueros do have a "free spin pawl". The cylinder is stopped from rotating backwards by a little plunger held in by a hex screw. Take out that screw and plunger and the cylinder should spin freely without any modification to the pawl. Though sometimes if the pawl isn't fit well, it will stick out a little bit and prevent the cylinder rotating backwards. Perhaps that plunger was removed in his gun, and it was working fine before, but when he re-assembled everything it changed things just enough that now the cylinder is catching on the tip of a poorly fit pawl. A few strokes with a file could remedy that, but that's just a guess as to what the problem may be. If he's got an Old Vaquero then I don't know what he did to it.

Red River Rudy, SASS #8490 LIFE Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Well, Dusty Chambers had it all figured out. I was hoping that I could hold the whisky instead of Big Daddy. I guess a little background is in order on how Irish Pat takes apart all of his guns without paying any attention to where the parts go once the springs let loose and go under the deep freeze(Freezer). Instructions are just words on paper that get in the way of Irish Pats' progress. The best I can tell, Irish Pats' guns were working properly until he took them apart to see how far under the deep freeze the springs could go.
