I have a 1996 SS model Vaquero in 44-40 that has developed a "rattle" I finally traced it to a loose loading gate. On firing the first time the loading gate opens about 1/16' and rattles thereafter. I don't think it is a safety issue but it sure as heck is annoying. I have 5 other Ruger SA and none of them have ever developed this problem.Do any of you experts have any advice on how to correct the problem? Any ideas on why the gate will not stay tightly shut? Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !!
