Ok. Picked up a new 3 3/4" Single Seven birds head. Just too cute (can I use that to describe a pistol??). Already had a 4 5/8" but not sure there is a limit.
So like the 4 5/8", I had the same issue. After opening up the loading gate, the cylinder took some effort to rotate, loaded or empty, seemingly catching on the pawel. Looking through Kuhnhausen's book on Ruger SA's he mentioned that sometimes the edge of the pawel needed to be chamfered so that's what I did. It worked great and now all is well and cylinder rotates normally.
Anyone else have the same issue? How did you fix it?
PS I know where there is a 5 1/2" Single Seven if anyone needs one. PM me if that's you.
