Who does Quality Trigger/Action Jobs?

[jam66]

I have a Ruger Single Action revolver that has alot of creep and a 4# plus trigger. Who does quality trigger and action work and recuting of the forcing cone? I would have to send the Revolver out. Is there anyone in New York State?

It's not a terribly hard job, but I have no idea who might be good in your area. If you want to send it out, John Gallagher in Jasper, AL is a Ruger guru and good guy. I'll pm you his email address if you're interested.

What makes you think the forcing cone needs re-cut? Is there a problem with shaving lead or something?

If you have very basic dis-assembly skills, you might consider installing a spring kit from Wolff or other maker. These can provide a pretty decent trigger at modest cost. If you're looking for a 2 lb. trigger, you'll need a gunsmith.

Forcing cone and action job and springs and more.

I believe that they're popular in the CAS world.

I've always been pleased by their service, and the action jobs really change the quality of the trigger.

What EXACTLY is wrong with your forcing cone that needs correction?

And, have you slugged your barrel? What exactly did you find?

Without articulating these two questions with specific answers, metal removal is out of the question.

Jam66.... if you find someone in your area to cleanup your Ruger SA trigger, ask these questions:

QUESTION
1) Exactly which parts receive attention?

2) Is factory trigger spring altered?

3) Is aftermarket trigger spring used?

4) Is mainspring altered or changed?

5) Is REGAIN preserved?

ANSWER
1) Hammer, primarily; trigger, secondarily.

2) Mainspring may be bent.

3) Aftermarket trigger spring should be unnecessary.

4) Factory mainspring should be fine. Lighter generally is not desirable.

5) "REGAIN" means the angles built into hammer and trigger at factory tend to push trigger into engagement with hammer.

If the answers are incorrect or vague, look for another "smith" to perform the work.

I have to disagree about springs. Most factory guns are oversprung to overcome the inherent roughness in their actions and ensure complete reliability. Once you slick up the action, removing as much of that friction as possible, those heavy springs are unnecessary. You may opt to retain those heavy springs or even go up in spring rate but it is entirely unnecessary. I sure as hell wouldn't dismiss a gunsmith's work because he replaces the springs. Quite the contrary.

jam66, you could try Joseph Jominolli in Syracuse he is a member of the American Pistolsmith Guild. Any GOOD gunsmith should have no problem with your needs.

When it comes to Ruger Single actions the only one I would send a gun to is Wes Fargo.
