Isom Dart, SASS#8096 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Cap, if you can't find what you want, you may have to do what I did. I wanted a pair of "blue" Vaquero's in 38/40. Ruger didn't make those. So I got a pair of .357's and had them converted. Bored out the barrels had the cylinders reamed out. Now I've got what I want. That was about 2007 or 8. Any questions ?? ..wilmtz3@bellsouth.net Isom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlicLee SASS #16638 Life Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I have 2 ruger Vaqueros 38 wcf SS convertible with 40 cal cyl 4 5/8 barrel looking for a new home. Both sets were sent back to ruger as there was a cyl problem which they took care of and because of the trouble they gave me 2 wishes, within limits. If your interested email me at sliclee@bellsouth .net then we'll talk. Lee maybe I should have said more, the guns were test fired hit POAPOI, never tested 40 cyl but ruger checked them also. Were never used except test. In box $900 per gun + ship to FFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I already have three of them, but just for the hell of it, I bid $800... nope. I expect the reserve is around $1200 - $1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The reserve was apparently $1200, which would be a very decent price on them - I've seen people bid these up to over $1000 for a single one. When/if you acquire a pair of these, Cap, rent a reamer or take 'em to a gunsmith and have the chamber mouths reamed. For some inexplicable reason, Ruger made them a few thousandths smaller than the bore... .396", if memory serves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal TKD, Sass # 36984L Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 What J-Bar said, plan on having them worked on. Ruger set them up to shoot 180 grain jacketed bullets. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
