Hunter...I checked the latch protrusion as you suggested... The Bisley protrudsion is visibly higher. And the angle of the latch pin hole in the S7 is not as "steep" as the Bisley....I think it is that shallow angle into the frame is what reduces the protrusion of the latch in the S7.

I'm going to disassemble my cyinder pin latch and look for burrs...I've compared the machining in the frame with my SS Bisley and the SS7 looks like it is machined shallower.

Dixie one last question .... Were you having trouble with the cylinder pin backing out under recoil?.... if you were having that problem did you ask Ruger to fix it?

Dixie... It sounds like that Ruger replaced your returned 7 1/2 inch S7 for a new one, is that correct? ...they didn't repair and return to you your original gun, right?

I'm going to make my cylinder free wheeling to get around the cartridge feeding problem. I'll try the wolf spring on the base pin latch. I have a belt mountain pin installed but the recoil can still move the pin out.

Thanks for all of your comments....I'll be sending my S7 back to Ruger.

So what should I do to get my single seven fixed... My local gunsmith or back to Ruger? 1. the cartridge will not slide into the cylinder when it is registered... The cylinder has to be tweaked-off-of-register for the cartridge slide in. 2. The Notch in the frame to hold the cylinder pin in is...

I've always loved the size of the Single Six but I have other 22 LR and 22mags to shoot....I could not get excited about the 32 H&R mag cartridge but I'm not going to miss out on this 327 Fed version....ordered a 7 1/2 " barrel model.
