Thanks, I found it. They sent me some photos. Just my opinion, but that gun has a pretty evident cylinder ring and the sharp edges seem kind of soft for a new gun. It is very recent production. I guess it could just be the lighting, but I'll pass.

Must have sold fast, I don't see it on there now.

I had the same problem with the front sight on my Alaskan. Was damaged and needed replaced. When I drilled the new sight I very slightly enlarged the frame hole on one side. Not much, just barely noticeable. Pin still fit snug but I didn't want any problems. I bent it a little, applied red...

I would snatch that up in a heartbeat. 3 or 4 have sold for $1200.-$1400. in the past two weeks on GB, used and new. If you don't want it, send me the info. Ruger is still making them but no info available on when the next run will be, they are so far behind.

I'm in please. Thanks!

Thanks all.....Flatgate, the Bisleys do not have the lock.....

Contender...any info?.....I posted the Serial Number (511-07807) but did not get any info. Do I need to post it somewhere else? Thanks.

Thank for the info. Wonder where the spacer came from then? That new Bisley had just arrived at the local gun shop from Ruger a few months ago. I purchased it right after it got there. The one without the spacer is several thousand serial numbers older than the one that came with a spacer.

Related to this topic.......I have two Ruger Bisleys with white grips. One came with a spacer over the screw between the grip panels, the other doesn't have it. I contacted Ruger and they sent me grip panel dowell, which isn't what I need. They seemed confused about what I needed. The one on...

Thank for the suggestions. La Habra is about 40 minutes from me. I just threw out the SHOT how to Ruger as an example....not sure where it's been. Serial number is 511-07807. The one I purchased new is in the mid 10,000 range.

Doug, You might be right. The overall fit, finish and appearance of the gun IS better than the new one I bought from a local dealer. I was thinking the same thing. Barely visible cylinder mark, perfect grip panel allignment, etc. I think it got a factory action job....lol. That leads to my...

Thanks for the replies. No evidence of handling....actually looks better than the "new" one, and appears to be test/factory fired only. I confirmed with Ruger that this gun was delivered in June as a "second" that could not be sold as new due to probably being a show demo gun. I asked "you...

New here.....great site. I have a question. I recently purchased two stainless .45 Bisley Vaqueros. One was brand new, the other was sold as used, but was (supposedly) a Ruger diplay or sample gun and appears unfired. The new gun is about 10% or more difficult to cock and locks up very...
