SP-101 Hammer

[piccolo]

Can a SP-101 shrouded hammer be replaced with an external hammer.
If so will Ruger do it ??

Yes they will interchange
HOWEVER
Ruger most always only replaces parts to the original way it left the factory.

Thanks, I'll give them a call Monday to see if they will do the job or sell the part.

Called this AM - they will do the change but won't estimate the cost up front. the drill is to send in the gun and they will send the estimate before proceeding. This means I have to pay the mail fee (UPS 2 day) there and back + cost of replacement. I don't understand why they can't give a ball park number up front so I can determine if the job is worth the cost.
Also they will not sell the spur hammer assembly separately so I can have a 'smith install it.

You may be able to find a spurred hammer at Numerich that is what I did, replacing the the DAO hammer is ver easy on an sp101, you may want to give it a try before sending it off to a smithy.

my 2 cents

That's the way I'll go, unfortunately they don't have the part right now so I'll check back with them frequently while searching for another source.

Wanna trade?

Nice try!
If I find the Stub hammer I'll have both and then can switch back and forth at will.

Gotta give me credit for trying

Check with Brownell's. They might have the part. Worth a try.
