I hope you guys have better luck with your LCR 357 then I did. I got two defective ones in a row. I bought the first one. It was on the way back to Ruger a few days later. It only took about 6 weeks getting the replacement.
Ruger replaced this first one and it was replaced with a 2nd defective one. Instead of getting a 3rd defective LCR I asked for the SP101 instead and they agreed to do that. Mine had a major problems and Ruger said they weren't repairable with the crane and cylinder. The cylinder was hitting the frame (cylinder window) every time I opened or closed the cylinder.
I don't know how either of these LCR's got out the door. What's even worse how I didn't catch it especially with the 2nd one. That finished my LCR days.
I'm hoping that Ruger will just replace my LCR 357 with a new one since I can't see this being something that they could "fix". If the 2nd one is defective in some way I will likely ask for a different gun or a refund. My LCR 38 is flawless and one of my favorite carry pieces, so I'm hoping the 357 that I get back will be as well.
Ruger will make it right one way or another. Hopefully you'll get a replacement instead of a repaired gun. Ruger will reimburse you for the transfer fee but I suggest you mention it to them when they contact you if they are going to swap it out.
Be patient, like I said it was about 6 weeks getting the first replacement and when they agreed to replace the 2nd defective one with the SP101 it was probably a month or so before I got it. I'm sure allot depends on the availability and if they are between production runs.
Good Luck
