purebred,, we call that "seller remorse." The cure is easy. Never sell one!
A little history here on the Super Redhawk.
Decades ago, there was a barrel separation of a .44 Redhawk where the barrel meets the frame. It was returned to Ruger. The gun was replaced. Ruger went into a serious study as to WHY it happened. Then a couple more had the same thing. A sheared off barrel at the frame.
So, they developed the Super Redhawk with the extended frame section, then added the barrel. As some like to say; "An ugly duckling was born." But the Super Redhawk provided a platform to where Ruger could build even bigger & stronger calibers.
Yet,, they finally figured out the WHY barrels sheared off of the Redhawks.It took several years & studies. It had to do with the lube used to assemble the barrels to the frame, AND it being left exposed to the air before assembly for an extended timeframe.
Example.
An assembler had a rack of barrels to assemble. He lubes all the threads on the rack. He starts assembly. No problems. Until, they went into an extended plant shut down for a few weeks for maintenance or Christmas. Normally a 2-3 week period. A FEW barrels that had lube were left un-assembled in the rack. The lube dried & changed properties enough that when the assembler returned,, and torqued the now dried older lube to the frame,, it created a stress area. Eventual firing caused the barrel to break off.
How do I know all this?
My first Redhawk was also the very first one to have the barrel separate from the frame. I still have much of the records on it. But it took years for them to discover the problem. And with that,, being overly cautious, they designed & built the Super Redhawk.
