Howdy! I'm new to SA, so be gentle.
I recently bought a used Ruger Vaquero birdshead, .357 mag. It is the blued with the "case hardened" frame. I've been searching the net for all info I can on this gun, and have seen a few things about that "case hardening" coming off. Guess I should be careful while cleaning?
Another thing I noticed when I bought the gun is the ring on the cylinder. Is there any way to get rid of that problem, or is it just a Ruger "quirk"?
Last, I think the cylinder is slightly over indexed (is that the correct term?) When I open the gate to re-load, the cylinder clicks and the hole is just south of loadable. Is there a way to correct that?
Other than that, I love this gun. It is beautiful. Shoots great too.
