I went to the range today. I brought my Blackhawk .44 Special. I haven't shot it in over a year so I was looking forward to shooting some cowboy loads. I loaded up, cocked and squeezed the trigger. No bang! Tried again, no bang. So I unloaded and looked at the primers - no marks. Upon closer look I saw that the transfer bar is missing! I assume that it broke during a previous dry firing session.
Is this a part that I can order from Ruger? I have disassembled and reassembled a single six before so I should be able to replace the transfer bar. But are there any suggestions or recommendations that should be performed during the replacement? Will the transfer bar need to be filed to customized it to the gun?
Thanks for any input.
