I've owned a number of Rugers with transfer bars going back over 35 years, that is the only one I've had break. Dunno just happened. I'd never had or heard of that problem, and I was just wondering if others did. I figure it was a flaw in the metal as it broke right at the turn/bend/change up?

There is no accounting for taste.

Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.

Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.
