Well I was hoping these were isolated problems and mine would not have issues, but no such luck.
I eagerly made the trip to my gun shop to pick it up. First thing I checked was the BC gap. It was HUGE. Eye balling it between my 32 mag and several other Rugers there in the shop the difference was tremendous. You can read the invoice through the gap. I tried to get some cell phone picks of it..
The finish issues are less of a problem to me, but in reality it looks like it was polished by Helen Keller.
I didn't get pictures of it but very deep tooling marks in the frame window on the breech face. The pin for the rear sight was apparently almost falling out, but Chris had already pushed that back in before I got there.
I didn't shoot but did check out the cylinder as well as possible. I only had factory 32 Magnum rounds to test fit. It seems one chamber is tighter then the others. The factory fired case looked normal.
They are calling Ruger in the morning to send it back. I can understand if the polishing gets past Quality control but I don't know how that BC gap made it.
