Mine is numbered 1062, date Dec 2009. Got it a year or so ago for a great price, I thought.

Called Ruger yesterday and there was some confusion about the proper spring. I guess it depends on who you get to help you sometimes. The I removed the spring that was installed and replaced it for now with a spare I ordered for my New Vaquero. The NV spring I think is too light but Ruger did...

Anyone know the part number for the mainspring for "Baby Vaquero, .32 H&R" Single Six with the short grip frame? The spring currently installed is too long and the first 4 or 5 coils are bound.

I found the Bearcat perch precarious at best. So I made my own.

Great to hear. On the whole, Ruger has been super in the CS department. just got myself another 44 FT, this one a Bisley. Looking forward to hitting the range to see what she'll do.

My sample size is not large (1 to be exact) but I purchased an OM SS in 22 Mag. A friend gave me a NM SS Co Centennial 22 LR cylinder. That cylinder was too long and the gas shield had to be trimmed slightly so it would not bind. Got lucky on the cylinder gap. So, in this case, yes, the NM...

Yeah, but that link is wrong, you can indeed remove stuck wooden rods from a barrel. Observe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fVJP7oYAjc&t=15s

Nice, I like the pistol grip and walnut stocks. Mine is a .45 Colt and has hardwood stocks. Not as purty as yours but shoots lights out and cycles smoothly and reliably! Your's is a steal in my opinion!

Almost wish I were bigger around the middle, I like that first rig.

LGS has a nice blued Vaquero in 44 mag for a good bit less. All the NMBH's are going here for < $500.

I have the opposite problem, the sizing die I have will not size down Winchester brass enough that it will firmly hold a .452" bullet. Never had an issue when I was loading .454" bullets in my old New Service. That revolver is long gone and my new Rugers like .452" bullets. Looking for a new...

That it is, a true piece of art. The barrel and scallops have inspired me.

I've got a buddy who wants me to convert a 3 screw to Vaquero configuration. I think I'll start by simply converting the .357 I picked up last weekend. Already have the cylinder and plan to make the front barrel with a sight like the one on this fine Bowen revolver: With a front sight...

I like it. Think Skeeter would approve too. With the introduction of the NM Flat tops, I decided not to build a 44 spl BH since it was easier to buy one. However, I got the bug for a .44 spl Vaquero. Got one in the works.
