OT - R&D cylinder for Ruger OA Question

rjohns94 · Post by **rjohns94** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 10:38 pm

My R&D cylinder arrived today for my Ruger OA. Suitable for 45LC "cowboy loads", this cylinder allows me to shoot .45LC out of my Horse Pistol. Here is the question: The timing seems off for three of the chambers. For chambers 1, 2, 3, the cylinder rotates and locks up just fine. For the rest, the cylinder does not rotate and the hammer cannot be cocked. After reading the instructions, it says, some fitting may be required. Great!!!!!! just what I didn't want to do. So I am thinking that i need to hone the holes in the back of the cylinder where the pawl engages? Anyone want to lend a guess what I need to do? I happened to get the last cylinder in stock at Midway in the fluted version.

Mike -

If it was me, I'd return it. I wouldn't be happy about waiting on the cylinder to get back into stock, but you shouldn't have to monkey with something new in the box like that.

Good luck!

The one I have dropped right in my Old Army, worked perfectly with no fitting required.

There's really no point in returning it if they say some fitting may be required. Your replacement may be just the same. Call the manufacturer first.

Get some professional guidance before doing anything. Call R&D
