I was talking to a gun shop owner this week and he said Ruger is finally doing it right.


Not being snotty, friends, but what is "right"?

I've heard lots of things, but seeing is believing.

Some measurements would be nice!


Legitimate question. All 6 cylinders being cut the same or almost the same and measuring 0.452".

There was a time I "fixed" several bad cylinders. I had accesses to a Sunnen Hone with an air gauge. I would measure and find the largest then clean up and rough spots or tool marks then make the other five the same within 0.00005. It is easy to do with the right equipment. It does the job way better than a reamer ever dreamed of doing.

The first time I shot myself in the head...
