I've a 6 shot and wanted a 5 shooter. Then thinking about it and realized that the cylinder wall thickness over the chambers is the same on both. Reduction of one hole just allows additional metal support between the chambers but the area over the chamber to cylinder remains the weak link on...

I asked Ruger the same question and was told <0.004" end play was spec and felt that was too sloppy for me. Got some shim spacers from Power Custom to tighten it up some. BTW one of my SRHs was brand new and the other hardly shot by the first owner.

any sign of debris under the ejector star? Could the transfer bar be hitting/jamming against the side of the FP instead of sliding over it? Perhaps try DRY firing w/muzzle streight up and see if reoccurs.

For the 30mm UD using Ruger oem rings, you'll need 1 medium and one high. No low avail in 30 mm unless you go Warne who makes a low and add amatching low but would need a base mount like Weigand if you do. I'm using a Burris base mount for their Fastfire II on my 480 SRH (see that there is a...

Donno but seen mention on one of these forums that it was just dropped from production in the alaskan platform. I really don't know.

Pulled my records on my 480 ~ built in 2002 w/0.475" groove dia. (at muzzle as frame area appears lil' looser). Chambers throats gages at 0.477”

Its been a head scratcher for me. My 454 isn't that way ~ anyway now I know I'm not alone ~ Pls do keep us informed of any findings

Likewise w/mine but 7.5" TG. Been wondering about it whatwith it being tight on both ends just what is the groove dia. in the middle? There is an explanation/reason to experience tigthness where the barrel screws into the frame but how/why the tightness at the muzzle?

I use the hogue rubber Tamer grip on all my SRH. I replace the single grip screw in the butt with any detachable swivel stud used for rifle forearm ~ the one w/the machine threads ~ takes only one swivel loop. I found that I needed to run a tap thru the stirrup adapter nut as the thread pitch...

Just rec'vd email from amazon that mine has shipped and will arrive monday. However the carrier isn't saying . . . . yet

Wonder if there's any hope for my SRHs in TG?

Just to mention re-bluing of post 64 Win 94s could come out any color. Early W'by MK V receivers would purplize over time.

First, if you haven't already done so, take a look at http://tinyurl.com/revocheck as it has lots of tips to help one assess what is happening and help determine ones direction and will save a lot of fat-fingering of the keyboard :wink: Then, from the illustrated parts breakdown from the Ruger...

One of our LGS got one NIB for 9 9 9 . . . . . and its hidden behind a lot of other guns on the shelf so expect it to be there awhile ~ ~ ~ ~ yeh, I know. . . . but if it was one of those mythical 5 shot 480, well, guess one can dream.

Both of mine have no disernable rotational movement as you describe. Both had some end-play but I adj'd that out. re your: 'nuke a whale for jesus' whats that about? Wasn't that jonah instead? :lol:
