Thanks fellas. Oly

If it's red bubbled rust it's likely not a stainless part. Stainless tends to rust dark and not deep or bubbled. Wouldn't be the first time an incorrect part got tossed into the wrong bin at the Ruger factory, or perhaps the gun has had some work and the previous owner substituted carbon steel...

The 454 generates significant recoil so I understand why you'd want them good and tight. That sure doesn't look right to me, especially the rear one. Perhaps try a set from an aftermarket manufacturer. Oly

Agreed!

Or a .454 - Ruger will be happy to sell you one. Oly

I've found a lot of polishing compound in new guns (especially Italian), and all sorts of junk. Most harmless because it'll get cleaned after shooting, but anything that moves and rubs against another part I want clean before I subject it to the stress of functioning. Cleaning the chamber and...

Gunbroker seems to be for the "I want it now" crowd. I don't think you'll find one for much less than $500, but I have seen them for that ballpark recently where I live. Oly

Hey fellas, do you happen to know if there is sufficient room in a new Vaquero .44 Special cylinder to rechamber it to .44-40, and is the bore correct for that round? Strikes me as a reasonably inexpensive conversion if so. Thanks, Oly

Not my cuppa joe but who cares. And why are the stocks worthless? Do they rattle about? Do they not function? Good Lord, not all of us need or even want grips that cost as much as our guns! Oly

I like the broom handle or knob feel of the Uberti birds heads better, but whatever - Rugers are easily worked on and are widely available. If you file and sand yours a bit, just hit them with Tru-Oil and they'll look just like new. I have and the recontour helped quite a lot. Or get an...

"Mostly" is the key word I think. I like what I'm seeing out of Colt today, and I hope they offer us a few more variations in the near future. Oly

Well that's rather broad don't you think? Can you be more specific? Welcome to the forum. In the meantime: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruger_Old_Army http://www.chuckhawks.com/ruger_old_army_syn.htm http://www.sixgun-forums.com/sixguns/content/23-ruger-old-army...

Everything about mine seems lighter/smoother than the other GPs that were in the store when I found it. The trigger is a bit heavier than my Python but absolutely crisp - like a glass rod snapping. It's Ruger we're talkin' about here so I'm sure variations abound, but the one I looked at was...

I've had it happen, and always it was when fatigue had set in and I was losing my grip. Time to take a break in my case. In your case I think you're just in need of a firmer grip (not a death grip - just think "control") and improved trigger/shot follow through. Double action or striker fired...
