I have a security six that the cylinder doesn't carry up enough for the bolt to drop into the bolt notch; the pawl looks very worn. Is there any source from which you could purchase a new stainless pawl?

Thanks for the link. Do you think this pawl would be a new part or a part salvaged from cannibalized guns? I was always under the impression that most of the stuff Gunparts Corp. sold were salvaged parts. For this type of part I don't know how useful a used part would be. Maybe/hopefully Gunparts bought up Ruger's supply of repair parts when the security six was discontinued. Anybody out there that has bought this kind of part from Gunparts that could tell me whether they got something new or in new condition? Monday I'll give Gunparts a call and ask this question.

Those are good questions. I really don't know, and a call to Gunparts will tell you.

I will say that I've never received a part from them that was unusable.

MyToy, The majority of the parts at Numrich (egunparts.com) come from disassembled guns unless it shows a different manufacture. For example, the sell a lot of aftermarket grips for the Security Six as well as having some Ruger grips.

You can also call Ruger to see if they have any in stock, and then see if they will sell it. Ruger willl not sell certain parts to the general public as they are classed as having to be fitted to the gun. I don't know about the pawl. If they do sell it, it will be cheaper than going to egunparts.

Historically Numrich sells ONLY New (old stock) parts. They, much like Jack First used to do or still does, would buy out the parts of discontinued models and basically be a clearing house for those and obsolete parts. You should see their old bound catalogues. A trip down history.

The other point to remember is that with only a few exceptions, a revolver almost always requires hand fitting. The timing involved with cylinder lock up is very precise and potentially serious. This part may drop right in and work fine. But do not be surprised if, like the part it is replacing and all the other parts around it that have worn equally with the one in question, MIGHT need fitting for proper timing.

In my experience Gun Parts Corp (aka Numrich) is a crap shoot.
You might get a new part, a used part, a wore out part, or a reproduction part from who knows where. Coincidently to this thread, I just recieved 3 parts from them this week. One was new and exactly what it should have been. The other was a pair of "new" factory grip panels that not only didn't even come close to fitting the frame of my gun, but had screw holes that were off from where they should have been by a full 1/4". I'll give them this much though, the grips were in fact, new...and did kinda-sorta resemble the factory grips. :roll: .

But that's not too bad though, because Gun Parts Corp is so used to getting returns that they automaticaly include a return slip with your order. You aint even gotta contact 'em first, just send the crap back.... Now, is that "after the sale service" or what?:lol: .

I too have had mixed results with them in similar ways. The thing you have to remember is that this is more than likely the result of how they get the parts from the manufacture. I would imagine that most of the time they parts are organized and numbered properly, but i would also guess that there is a BUNCH of parts miss-matched and just thrown in the bin.

Yeah Crossroads, I've often thought about the wrong part being in the right bin too.
I ordered a half-dozen rear sights for an M1 Carbine from them a few years ago and when I recieved the package, it had 5 that were right, and one for an 03-A3, which aint even close.
One would think that everwho packaged them up woulda noticed . :roll: .

As far as most recent problem though, it was obvious that the grip panels I recieved were cheap repops, NOT "new" factory grips as advertized. On the other hand, the new Browning rear sight was exactly what they said it was.

An ongoing crap shoot, that's what it has been for me.....But what else ya gonna do when they've perty-much got the market corned on hard to find stuff?

Try Ruger of all places. I bought a hand, cylinder stop & something else I forgot for my Security Six several years ago. I was surprised they sold it to me, but if nothing else Brownells may be able to special order it for you.

If the cylinder is just short of allowing the bolt to lock up, you can upset the end of the OEM hand, allowing the cylinder to advance further and lock up proper.

Chances of finding a 'drop-in' part requiring no fitting are slim.
