I'm pretty sure I am going to have to send this one back to Ruger but I'd thought I would ask here, in case I am missing anything easy.
My Alaskan in 44 magnum will randomly lock up. It won't fire in double action, nor can I cock the hammer back and fire it in single action. It acts like there is something stuck in the action. I can usually swing the cylinder out and back in, and it will then fire.I took it apart as far as I felt comfortable and cleaned it out and blew it out, but the problem remains. ( I was hoping to find a metal burr like I found in my wife's GP100, which caused similar random lockups).
Anything I might have missed? I took a crappy video to show what I am talking about. Hard to take a video with one hand and a loaded 44 in the other lol.Hopefully posting the YouTube link here is ok. If not, mods please delete my post.
