Would probably end up costing more than a brand-new revolver, all said and done. And then the problem is most likely the shooter, as hittman said.

Which brings to mind an old friend of mine who worked at a Buick dealership (as a mechanic). They had a persistent customer repeatedly complaining about a rattle. Finally someone took the door apart, and found a paper lunch bag with a rock in it, and written on the outside of the bag "Glad you...

Same here (as in SteveSt). Never a regret on the SP's or GP. Ruger builds them better than they need to, unlike the Charter's.

I have a Mark 1, from 1972. Wasn't SS, but blued. Made a walnut box, with real red felt liner. Both box and gun are pristine now, and the Ruger spends its whole non-shooting storage life in that box. That's 52 years and 50,000 rounds. Just use stuff that's real, not some fake bargain stuff.

That one looks just like mine! Originally $78, now, who knows? Mine is even in better shape, despite 50,000 + through it. And the grip screw on mine is not buggered.

Years ago I was really into film photography. A co-worker was just getting into it, and I lent him my enlarger for a couple weeks. When he finally returned it I couldn't get it to focus. Turns out he disassembled the lens and put it back together minus one component. Last time he got anything...

Hogue rubber. Have a 6" with them, and they are great.

Try Kano-Kroil. Talk about a penetrant (by gosh)!

Perhaps the frame warmed up faster than the barrel/receiver, which meant that the frame was just a tiny bit larger and allowed the slightly smaller barrel/receiver to part company. Saved a trip to the barn, anyway, eh?

The bore size (of the barrel) may be the same, but the .22 LR bullet is .002" larger in diameter. And the LR cartridge will "rattle" in the chamber of a Mag.

I do not understand the title to the parent thread. What "extended warranty" is being referred to? Essentially, though not stated, all Rugers have an unlimited warranty, depending on circumstances. Without any additional expense, unlike an "extended warranty" for a Chevy truck, for example.

Ruger is unmatched.

Kinda depends on whether the two examples were brand new, or not. Other than that, contender has it nailed.

I have a Single-Ten, and it is flawless. I purchased it brand new. Was the OP's new or used? My loading gate is easy, and no problems with the base pin. Was yours purchased from a gun shop? On-line? Keep in mind that NO OTHER maker takes care of their products as well as Ruger. If it was bought...

I agree with "GasGuzzler". Look at the ballisticsbytheinch website to see why all one gets is a little velocity, but a whole lot of flash and noise.
