My Toy
Bearcat
I ordered a set of endshake bearings from Brownell for a SP101 I just acquired; actually they are Power Custom products that the packaging says they are for Colt Anaconda, Ruger SP101 and can be used as trigger shims in a 10/22. In the cylinder I wasn't able to get the endshake bearings past the sloted fastener the holds the extractor assemble in the cylinder. I've installed endshake bearings in a couple of GP100s that have the same kind of arrangement in the cylinder with no problems. If you were to use the bearings I got it looks like you would either have to disassemble the extractor assembly from the cylinder or somehow enlarge the hole in the .004 bearing to fit over the fastener. I know you need a proprietary tool to disassemble the cylinder which is not generally available outside of the Ruger factory. I've read other posts where people have installed these bearing in their SP101s and there is never any mention of this problem. Has anyone else encountered this.
