My 1975 made Ruger Super Single Six has a little problem. When I open the loading gate to load or unload the cylinder chambers, as I rotate the cylinder...it sticks. It's rather annoying that I can't line up each chamber to insert a .22 cartridge or punch out an empty case with the ejector rod.
It seems that the bolt is still slightly engaging each of the cylinder's chamber notches just slightly. If I hold the cylinder firmly and rotate it harshly, it will move but then I wind up missing that particular chamber and have to come around to it again.
I did put a set of Wolfe springs in this Ruger years ago, but it was never a problem before. It just started happening.
Help! Any ideas for a quick fix? This was my Dad's Ruger and he had it engraved by Jeff Flannery 25-30 years ago.
