Ruger 10/22
Bearcat
I have been looking at the cylinder of the Ruger SP101 & need to either make or buy the slotted screwdriver bit to open the cylinder up & remove the ejector
Saw it was available at Brownell's for $12.49 so I might just order one & put it in my Wheeler Screwdriver Kit
BROWNELLS RUGER® DOUBLE ACTION SCREWDRIVER SET | Brownells
I swear my pin looks longer than that slot is deep? Guess I could always take it to the cut off wheel on the grinder & deepen it as needed, But that was the idea of just buying one & not having to modify any of the tools I already have.. Could use the Dremel smaller cut off wheel too...
My cylinder has .004" of end shake = Not Much BUT have .002" & .003" shims
Cylinder gap is .007"-.003"
Wanted to open it up to clean the most reses were the cylinder turns on the yolk, I can see a few small burrs in the there
Cylinder does spin clean & clear like a bicycle tire
Here's the bit I made up for the SP101s cylinder
I had the first cut centered but when I made a 2nd pass it became off center & too wide but worked anyhow
I should have just filed or widened the slot with the cut off wheel
Going to order 2-3 of this bit from Wheeler & make another
Cleaned lubricated the ejector rod + added a .002" end shake shim & this made the end shake .0015"-.002" + moved the cylinder .002" closer to the firing pin making the reduced power hammer spring more effective IMO
Measured with feeler guages, but a dial indicator would give a more accurate reading
Going to order a few of these .025" thick bits or modify one of the bits from Brownell's
