Can you please provide the title of the article, or a link to it? I did a search but the articles I found were older.

Not sure this will work, BINGO

Customizing A Ruger Wrangler

Hitting the “affordable quality” bull’s-eye is a target chased by most everyone who manufactures anything — if they’re smart, that is.

Thank you Terry!

 

[BULL'S-EYE]

There's a video on American Handgunner's YouTube channel about this as well.

Well that was an interesting read. How to turn a $250 gun into a $1K gun. It's fun to personalize your gun just the way you want it, especially the tune up.

I always polish the hammer sides to prevent corrosion. That brushed satin surface really promotes surface rust like we see so much on used Ruger hammers.

I would prefer fluting the cylinder, not turning it into looking like a lug nut. But everyone's tastes are different and nothing wrong with that.

To me the best part was right off the bat....recutting the forcing cone & muzzle crown plus adjusting the loading gate tension.
The improvement in group size was excellent & stiff loading gate problem solved IMO.

Terry absolutely right. Part of what I consider a tuneup (and including action smoothing); something everyone can do with a small investment in tools that can be used over and over.

Are there any places that rent out the 11⁰ crowning tool and pilot for 22LR. I know some places rent reamers.

Wasn't looking for a forcing cone reamer but thanks for the effort. It's great how forum members are eager to help other members.
