Single-Sixer
I looked at a New Single Six yestarday that had a problem I have never seen before. I tried to line up the ejector to the charge hole and push the jector rod, but no matter what I did, the ejector rod would not go into the charge hole. I noticed 2 things:
When I pulled the cylinder pin forward, it came completely out of the frame. As I recall, the cylinder pin stayed in place on my long gone 1974 Single Six. I dont recall the pin coming out. Is that normal?
With the cylinder removed, I pushed the ejector rod and only the tip of the rod protruded from the rod hole in the frame. The rod would not fit through the hole and therefore could not go into the charge hole. I have never seen a defect like this before.
The gunshop took the gun off the shelf and said it had to go back to Ruger before he could sell it. This is good. A lot of stores would say that the person findingt the defect is crazy and sell it unrepaired.
