I have been bad lately on gun broker. Of course the pictures tell you little if anything on most guns, but I bought what was said to be a very clean Ruger Security Six. I got it and it was obvious that it was reblued. Picked it up at my FFL and we were talking about it, looking it over but not enough.
When I got home I looked it over a little closer. (Obviously when you reblue a gun you have to take it apart) So I did what I frequently do, (gun was empty) I pulled the trigger and looked between the cylinder and the firewall and didn't see the firing pin sticking through. (ALWAYS CHECK FOR THIS) So I pulled the hammer back but not all the way and pushed on the transfer bar and the firing pin showed up where it's supposed to a little so, (I HOPE) that all the parts are there. I talked to the dealer, he offered to refund the money including shipping back to him, or I could have it fixed and he would pay for it. Very nice. My FFL is pretty handy so I'm going to take it to him, (RUGER WOULD NOT ACCEPT IT, THEY HAVE NO PARTS) and I was wondering if anyone has a youtube video showing how to do this. I do have an extra transfer bar, and an extra hammer but it turns out I don't have an extra firing pin. I may need one of those. But the Youtube video is the important thing at this point. If someone can give me a link for that I would be much appreciated, or maybe explain it so I can pass it on to my FFL. I know people talk about using shims and such but I don't really understand that part. Let me know what you can EXPLICITLY PLEASE. Thank you.
