The transfer bar just broke on my Ruger New Vaquero and I heard it was a common problem, I was just wondering if it happened to anybody else.
the ruger single actions all have a base pin with a spring-loaded tip on the end that fits through the cylinder and through the frame. the tip keeps the transfer bar back so it won't hit the firing pin on the upstroke. if the base pin has moved forward for any reason, like the pin's latch not fully engaged, or heavy loads being fired, the bar can hit the pin.
