Sarge 413 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I believe these a Ruger Cylinder pins, but there are obvious differences. The blue pin has only short retaining cut, while the two stainless pins are both cut all the way around. I believe these go to Old Model Ruger Vaqueros. The shorter one with the flat head has me stumped though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sinola Kid 57 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 The shortest one looks like the same one I have on my original model vaqueros in 3-3/4” barrels. Do you have two of these? If so bring them on Saturday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L 449 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I am 99% sure the upper one of the two longer ones is from Ruger Old Model Vaquero. Look exactly like the ones in mine anyway. The middle one is missing the grove on the long side of the pin. Is the middle one possibly from a Ruger Blackhawk 3 Screw? I do not have any of those to check. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Blarney Kid 69 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) It's not off a 3-screw Blackhawk. The Blackhawk pin has no shoulder. Edited February 11 by The Blarney Kid New info. The middle one may be from an OMV. Does it hav a small notch opposite the notch on the shoulder? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the middle pin does have a notch on the opposite side of the shoulder. I'm thinking these all were for Old Model Vaqueros the way they were packaged and labeled. They may be aftermarket. All of the other parts are consistent with OMV parts and part numbers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rex M Rugers #6621 363 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 A dead give away for a 3-screw pin , they don't have the spring loaded pin. Just a solid end. Rex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bramble Mountain Buzzard 123 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) The spring loaded pins on the end are for moving the transfer bar out of the way of the firing pin when cocking the pistol. That said, all three look to be from original Vaqueros (pre-New Vaquero). The bottom one is from the "sheriffs model" 3-1/2" Vaquero.
