A couple of cautions when sending a Ruger product to the factory for repair. One, if it is an "old model" (three-screw) single-action (Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk or Bearcat) and it has not had a "safety conversion" installed, they will put one in it whether you ask for it or not. You do get the replaced parts back, the last I knew. (As mentioned, my own SuperB already had one when I got it, so this was not an issue.) Two, if any action work has been done to it, they will remove the polished or stoned parts, non-factory springs, etc. and replace them with original parts. This was done to my Super Blackhawk, on which my brother stoned the cylinder pawl (as it is called) to smooth the trigger pull.
