8pointer
Single-Sixer
Just back from the gun show where I picked up an old model non-prefix Bearcat. This revolver is in fairly nice shape EXCEPT…the frame of the gun is completely split in half just in front of the barrel. The base pin also appears to be slightly bent. For the price I paid, I am certain that I can recoup my investment by parting out this revolver but here is my question: Do you think Ruger will replace the frame if I sent it back to them? I have no idea how the frame was cracked. I can only assume it was abused. No bulge in the barrel, just a cracked/split frame at the top strap and a slightly bent base pin. I will contact Ruger next week but thought that someone on the Forum might have knowledge of their warranty policy.
