Hey fellas,
Have any of you guys (or girls) ever had any problem with Ruger Blackhawk transfer bars getting hung on the firing pin and locking up the action upon cocking the hammer? I bought mine new and I did put a free spin pawl in it and a spring kit. I was very carful, but my eyes aren't what they used to be. Did I leave out a tiny spring or something? sometimes I have to point the barrel straight up to flop the transfer bar back so I can cock it. The transfer bar also rattles a little when you shake the gun and has done so since I first took it out of the box. Is this normal? The gun is phenomenonally accurate for a revolver, but this is frustrating! Could it be that it was not finished right at the factory and the bar isn't properly shaped or did I "sproing" a small part across my basement?????
