Sent the revolver back to Ruger and after sitting on it awhile they of course insist on sending me a new one, so will be out the cost of the action work and now need to start the process over again. My bad for not shooting it first, but still hard to believe it left the factory like that. And according to Youtube, there were at least a few that were sent out with the same problem.
Rant over.
First off, does Rooger ever make a gun that doesn't have to be shipped back a couple of times for their "excellent customer service" to "make it right"?

Secondly, if I was Ruger, I'd have a hard time warranting a gun that had custom work done. Evidently it's a known issue though, like with most Ruggers.

Thirdly, why didn't the gunsmith catch it?



1st, YES, I've never sent a gun back to Ruger and I have/had a few

2nd, Again, not like most Rugers

3rd, If you sent a rifle to a gunsmith to have him lap scope rings and install a new recoil pad, would you also expect him to fire it?
I wouldn't necessarily expect the gunsmith to fire the revolver in this situation, but it wouldn't surprise me either.

I've probably owned/fired as many Rugers as you have and Rugers being sent back is pretty commonplace. How many recalls are there right now?

No, not like most Rugers. It was sarcasm, something I'd expect you to be familiar with.

I like the fact that Rugers are made here. I used to like Rugers a lot. I got tired of them having nagging, little problems though.
