Gents - I finally dug a SBH out of the safe that I picked up 2nd hand 3-4 years ago, from the original owner. No box or paperwork, but it's a blued, 5.5 in bbl, fluted cylinder with the round trigger guard, same as the current offering from Ruger. According to the serial number it was made in 2008. I have not shot it since owning it, too many other projects, life and work getting in the way of 44 mag time. I have stock piled a few parts that I had wanted to add or swap from original, since owning it. So with cold weather keeping me a bit house bound, I finally dug into it last night. I'd never noticed it before, but the warning label is under the ejector rod housing. I know Ruger has done this in the past on special run models, but is this common on a regular production SBH? I have nothing to compare it to here. So far a spring kit and shims, were a pretty easy install, as well as a new Belt Mtn base pin and Vaquero ejector rod.......the Bisley trigger however has turned this into a real project, as I completely forgot I had to file the inside of the grip frame to made it work. Just wondering about the warning label though, if anyone has any insight. Thanks Bill in MA
