I picked up a used Bisley in .45 Colt a few months ago. While I got a really good deal on it, it seemed a little loose. There was quite a bit of end shake and the cylinder gap was .009.
I called Ruger service and they had UPS at my house the next day to pick it up. After a couple of months, I finally got it back. They put a new barrel on it, closed the cylinder gap down to about .001 and put a bushing on the cylinder. It locks up nice and tight now. They did all of this free of charge. I couldn't be happier with the service I received.
I had bought a Belt Mountain pin for the gun before I sent it to Ruger, but shipped it with the original pin. The Belt Mountain pin tightened up the cylinder nicely. With the new bushing installed, the Belt Mountain pin no longer fits. Do I need to be concerned that all of the contact between the cylinder and cylinder pin is taking place at the bushing? Is this going to cause me problems down the road?
