Mine did not have any of the defects mentioned in the article. The flaw I had was a casting flaw in the frame. Some other members also had this. There is a long (7 page) thread on the subject:see http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=138860&highlight=casting Keep in mind that...

Certainly, what would you like to know?

Other than a pellet rifle I've never owned a long gun but when Ruger came out with the Take Down I was hooked. Found one at a good price and it should arrive next week. I'd like to install a scope and assume I'll need a compact type so that it will fit in the case (I'm not interested in a quick...

Too much salt is no good for you. Look at the pictures on the referenced site. My new SR1911 had to go back to Ruger due to major flaws in the frames casting.

Got my replacement rug 2 weeks ago and my reimbursement check for the transfer fee yesterday. And so ends this episode with Ruger that started on Feb. 17,2012 !!

Nice try! If I find the Stub hammer I'll have both and then can switch back and forth at will. :D

That's the way I'll go, unfortunately they don't have the part right now so I'll check back with them frequently while searching for another source.

Called this AM - they will do the change but won't estimate the cost up front. the drill is to send in the gun and they will send the estimate before proceeding. This means I have to pay the mail fee (UPS 2 day) there and back + cost of replacement. I don't understand why they can't give a ball...

Thanks, I'll give them a call Monday to see if they will do the job or sell the part.

...EVERYTIME that I'm working with springs or something that can pop loose, I wear safety glasses...EVERYTIME. also a good idea is to do the work inside a large see thru baggy when possible. Nice to catch those flying parts !

Can a SP-101 shrouded hammer be replaced with an external hammer. If so will Ruger do it ??

I’ve owned a 2-1/4in.SP101 for several years and have no complaints with it other than its weight that for me, with my very slight build, makes it somewhat uncomfortable to carry. Ever since the introduction of the LCR it’s been on my mind that it might be a good substitute for the SP101. I...

Thanks for the info. I have a SP101/357 and I'm thinking of trading for a LCR/38. I have 6 of the HKS36 speed loaders so it's good to know they will work in the LCR

Anyone know if SP101 speed loaders will work in a LCR ??

Slide to frame fit is OK - very slight play. Actually I'm not too concerned with "bullseye" accuracy, all my practice these days is point shooting from the holster. If I'm at all near center mass on the target at 7 to 10 yds. I'm good to go. I did mail in my transfer receipt for reimbursement...
