Stiff loading gate on Wrangler fix yet?

[Hondo44]

Yes I've done that dance to get it just right, taking it apart over and over. That's about the time I started shortening the tip that engages the loading gate.

My new birdshead is easy to open

Trusting Ruger to manufacture a gun but not fix one seems a little odd to me. To each their own.
Sure, it may be inconvenient to send it back but they've offered more than their warranty states.

When this thread was first done a suggestion was the link to the ruger.net forum, which has the fix for the problem. I looked at that "fix" before I stopped looking at that forum. Apparently that "fix" does work. Tried it?
I was lucky enough to get a Single-Ten just before the Wranglers were introduced, and my interest in the W's now are based on curiosity.

Before getting my Wranglers I read all about tight loading gates. Honestly, I had no prior experience with single actions and was fully expecting having a hard time opening the gate. In reality, mine are not difficult at all to open and I was a bit surprised I had a totally different experience.
