Update in case it helps anyone: I managed to get the magazine working properly by more aggressive sanding inside the front, rounded part of the mag body. Using coarse metal sandpaper in a dowel, I sanded out that portion. The steel is pretty hard and what felt like aggressive sanding didn't seem...

Thanks. Ruger is replacing it for free. I was just trying to see if I could fix it, just for the hell of it. I agree, not worth a lot of time.

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I posted here. I have a very specific question about a magazine issue and haven't found any online advice that helps. First off, my SR1911 lightweight commander in 9 mm has functioned flawlessly for years, at least 2000 rounds, using a variety of bulk...

I realize you guys posted the "Single Action Grip Frames Explained" to help answer the question I raised here. I looked there first, but I think I was blinkered by how specifically Ruger said they don't sell groups that fit. Anyway, one of people I mentioned in a thread I saw on another forum is...

Cool. I see I have graduated from "Newly Registered" to "Bearcat". I'd like to thank my mom and dad, my second grade teacher...

I agree, it shouldn't be a problem. This started with me looking at the descriptions on ShopRuger. Item 19882 says "Fits single action without lock" and item 70046 also says it fits models without a lock, in the title and the description. So I asked Ruger customer service what's the difference...

Hello, I'm looking for advice on wood grips for a New Model Single-Six. I have on order (awaiting the Canadian transfer approval process) a new Single Six, blued with the 4 5/8" barrel, I think it's model 0621. Based on the serial number and the Ruger website, I think it was made after 2015...

Well put, and I like what your Grandpa had to say.

In case it helps others, I wanted share some experiences with the Guide Gun stock finish. First off, I'd like to pre-empt comments like "the Guide Gun is a tool meant for rough use and you shouldn't even think about minor flaws on the stock". Sure, it'll eventually accumulate dings and scratches...

Thanks for clarifying that. It seems that there just isn't a no-drill scope option for this revolver.

Thanks.

I had the Guide Gun in 30-06 and now have it in 375 Ruger. Before I sold the 06, I compared them side by side and it looked like the stocks were the same size. The barrel is therefore really beefy for the 06. I loved that gun but have limited space and wanted the 375 for future Africa use...

I guess it's still the same gun, but I wish they still called it the Night Watchman. I still want one.

Thanks for your replies. I'm not positive about the Wheeler 301 because it just says "Blackhawk", and if it's like the Weigand, then it will only fit the new model non-flat-top. I sent a question about this to Weaver. I'd probably prefer the flexibility of a rail, but the Raptor Engineering...

I've searched here and other forums, elsewhere online, and asked Weigand, and have not found an option for a no-drill scope mount for the Anniversary Blackhawk 357. I realize the answer might be "better to scope a different revolver", and that there are just too few of these anniversary models...
