Sarge Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 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.
Sinola Kid Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 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.
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 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.

The Blarney Kid Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 It's not off a 3-screw Blackhawk. The Blackhawk pin has no shoulder.

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.
Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 A dead give away for a 3-screw pin , they don't have the spring loaded pin. Just a solid end. Rex
Bramble Mountain Buzzard Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 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.
