Hi Guy's and Girl's;
I have an old first model bright stainless Ruger Vaquero that I would like to install a "Montado" style hammer on. I can order the hammer from Ruger at what I guess you could call a resonable price and install it myself if they ever have any in stock. I was told that they don't take back orders so I would have to keep checking back about every week or so untill they have some in stock before I can order one. This is the same thing I was told a few months back when they didn't have any in stock then. So I guess I'll just have to keep trying. They must be very popular.
Now along with the new hammer I wanted to install a new pawl from GrandMasters L.L.C. D.B.A. Power Custom to make the action more like the Colt single action with a free spin at half cock so I can line up the cylinders more easily for loading. Now they offer a Bisley style S/S kit for $200.00 + shipping and handling but that is way more than I want to pay or invest in this handgun and I cannot figure out what all comes in the kit from the ad (I guess I could call them) but then it's still way more money than I want to put into this handgun.
I suppose I could be satistied with just the "Montado" hammer and by the way I don't know for sure if it's the same as the "Bisley" hammer or not and the girl at Ruger couldn't tell me because she didn't know either.
My question is, have you done a similar conversion to your Vaquero and can you answer some or all of my questions?
Thanks for your help and have a great week. Regards, Dan.
