If all you want is plinking and paper punching, the bullet will never know which barrel it just left. Dollar for dollar, I'll take the RR's over the Single Six-I know, I've blasphemed Ruger, right? After 5 years, my RR's are still in excellent condition. I didn't pay for the name, sorta like buying at NAPA when you can get the same thing at Advance. Serial Number: HZ35085 Year of Manufacture: Modern Caliber.22 Long Rifle with additional. When I bought my rough riders, my first two were consecutive serial numbers, each being half the price of a Single Six. I'm a tinkerer so I made my own shims by hand and they work fine. Once the bushings are installed, no more grinding. What causes this is the cast frame is softer than the steel of the cylinder, and the forward force of the hand pushing on the ratchet is strong, grinding the cylinder into the frame.
006' increments, about 5 or so in a pack. Brownells/Midway sells shims for this, I believe in. My everyday RR did that, and it was very simple to fix. Guys, those of you with the light strikes, you have excess cylinder end-play. On the one that is my everyday 'carry' gun, I keep the mag cylinder in. I've got 3 Heritage Rough Riders, had them for about 5 years now, and have only had a problem with one of them.
