PLEASE NOTE THAT I LIVE IN UK - BUT WILL STILL DEAL WITH CANADA & NORTH AMERICA!
After a lunk in our club bent the cylinder pin on my ROA after dismantling it and failing to tighten the locking screw, I called up Christine at Ruger to order a new one.
She told me that -
a. there are no more base pins - blued or stainless.
b. there are no more ANY spares that are not common to the centre-fire Blackhawk series revolvers.
Soooooooooooo, I have cast about for somebody to make a few, and located a local precision engineering company in a local town prepared to do just that for not too much money, bearing in mind that there are otherwise none at all. They will be made of a high grade of austenitic stainless steel used to make valves [316] and so on in the petro-chemical industry, and therefore highly suitable for this application. Each and every one will be tested in my own ROA before I walk out of the door with them, but as the company concerned routinely works to aerospace and space technology tolerances I have no doubt that they will fit the job.
I need at least ten orders to make it a going concern, and so far have seven in UK and the USA.
All the US orders have come from posters on www.muzzleloading.com - a place where I also post.
Anybody interested should PM me, please, for details.
