Picked up my new to me SBH

[Hylander]

Just thought I would post my SBH.
Almost everything is perfect.
Good timing, tight lockup, .005 BC gap, barrel clocked correct.
Only had to open one cylinder mouth a touch for all to be the same at .432 and the trigger lightened a bit.
Shot good, but leaded up just past the frame.
Looks like I need to lapp some thread choke out.

One of the finest single actions made. Congratulations.

Every time I see a blue Super with a dragoon grip frame I smile thinking about my dad and his.

One of my favorite revolvers in my collection! I need more SA in my life.....

I sold my second Super several years ago, which I now regret. I need to get another friend for my OM super.

This is about the 4th. I have owned over the years.
Every time I sell one I miss it. I don't see me selling this one.

It seems as if seller remorse is common because I've done it on several occasions. My solution nowadays is to not sell

That is one beautiful revolver! When I bought my blued steel Single-six it just made me smile. We read often about Ruger not being able to make quality revolvers anymore, but my 2015 Single-six had a very nice blued finish, was timed perfectly, for a Ruger, and locked up very tight in all 6 chambers. They can still do it.

had one since the seventies, then around 2000 I sold it and the a few years later convinced the guy I sold it to he needed to sell it back to me and he finally did, never to be sold again

What is this "selling" you keep referring to?

 

[Hylander]

Well,
I hand lapped the constriction.
Shot it again this morning with some 240gr. SWC powder coated and sized .431
Much better, only leading is right at the forcing cone mouth.
Forcing cone mouth is a bit rough.
So, I think I will cut an 11 degree forcing cone.

 

[Hylander]

Forcing cone had more lead than I initially thought.
Just finished the 11 degree FC.
After finishing I ran tight patches to check for constriction again and none was felt. Hopefully with those two items addressed it will be lead free next range trip.
Next range trip will probably be Sunday or Monday.

Agreed, they should have a friend
