Hi All,
Like my header says,I'm potentially in the market for a .22 LR cylinder.
Already has the .22 mag cylinder.
The measurement from ratchet to gas ring is
1.62" on the mag cylinder.
Couple of ?'s if I may:
Would it be best to get one from the forum and have it fitted and timed by a local shop,or send it and the revolver to Ruger and have everything done by a trained and experienced Ruger tech?
I know a tech pretty well and he told me he would have to do the conversion on it by law and he could easily fit a New Model cylinder easily and that he does sometimes "forget" to mark converted guns.
He said he'd " forget" to mark mine if I sent it in that he'd take care of mine personally.
Thought that was pretty cool.
Any advantage to having Ruger fit an OM cylinder,if they would do it that is, other than the fact it would be done right.
Thanks to all in advance
Doug
