Ruger Old Army 44 cal revolver

[loiner1965]

I keep hearing that the Ruger is no longer made and parts are an issue.
In reality, is it likely to need parts and how hard would they be to get?
Can I buy parts from the US and have them shipped to the UK?
Could the parts that may need replacing be hand made in stainless steel (I have some metal working ability, lathe, milling machine etc).

If this gun is nice and solid at full cock (something I've been told to check), what are the chances of it being bad?

I do intend to shoot this arm at least once a month over an afternoon, so it will see regular shooting.

Thanks.

only issue is the cylinder loading pin? not sure exact name but it can bend usually pilot error but apart from that bomb proof
you can buy that part in stainless or blued version on eb@y too.
nothings unbreakable but they are the best revolver by far
