Texas ShaDi Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Where can I find a transfer bar for a new model Vaquero? One broken in my 4 month old SASS Vaquero today and I would like to be able to make the shoot this coming weekend. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Call Ruger. Have the serial number handy. Ask for a spare one-tell'em you're a cowboy shooter. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCandless Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 This coming weekend, (tomorrow)?? Or, are you talking about the next weekend? If tomorrow, being it's Friday night, no one can you one by tomorrow... If you're talking about next weekend, then Ruger will drop one in the mail to you.

Roscoe Regulator Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Should there be a concern about why it broke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major BS Walker Regulator Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Transfer bars are Ruger's only real weak point. Breaking is not unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Should there be a concern about why it broke? Because the transfer bar is not fitting the action correctly. The transfer bar can have any of the following problems. 1. It is too thick 2. It is too long 3. It is not parallel with the frame and is bending when the hammer strikes it. Take way to long to explain in words how to determine which is the problem and how to correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder SASS #13056 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Check for "hammer pinch". This is where the hammer in rest position is a little to tight against the transfer bar. Now, if I can remember the test. . . Have gun empty. Then cock the gun and pull the trigger and continue to hold the trigger back. Now slowly release the trigger. The transfer bar should be free to drop down. If the hammer is pressing on the transfer bar, it increases the likelihood of breaking the transfer bar. The fix. Some would thin the transfer bar since it is the cheaper part, but it will weaken it. Most will slightly reface the hammer area where it touches the transfer bar - thus freeing up the action as it should. To be clear, this in NOT where the hammer hits the frame. It is that second notch down that will be touching the transfer bar. Of course you don't want to remove any more than is needed. For a better description, look at Driftwood Johnson's post, see #12. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/ruger-new-vaquero-transfer-bar-pinch.649912/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
