Ruger Old Army 44 cal revolver

I have to disagree that they are bomb proof.

Someone at the club bought a ROA. The cylinder, when it is at full cock would not lock up tight, it could be moved about .020" in either direction of the barrel centreline.
It was either badly worn internally, or had been bodged up by someone. I did not look at the slots on the cylinder itself but I don;t think they would have been worn. It had no accuracy at all probably because the ball was being shaved if the cylinder moved to one side when it was fired.

All that glitters is not gold, as they say.
Anything you buy second hand needs to be checked thoroughly. It is too late once you have parted with your hard earned dosh.

Okay, lets just put this thing to bed and we can move on

Let's be frank and open here about the ROA, and be done with it.

I am sorry Tac, I didn't know that you were a 'Mod' here and were given the job of keeping threads to a certain length.
I'll do as you say and stop posting on this matter as instructed.
Sorry.

I think tac is commenting that it has run its course and can get longer than it needs to be without gaining anymore useful input.

A mod? I would not have thought that.

No, I'm not a mod, but as Mr enfield2band notes. I don't think that there is anything more to add.

Buy it or don't - for sure somebody else will step into the line. There are no more ROAs except used.

I have been to the shop again to look, but due to a lack of knowledge I'll not be buying it.
I don't want to risk my money or slot on my certificate.
For those interested, it is £400.
I've noticed Henry K have 4 in stock from £400-£695, so can't be all that rare or cheap.
