Well i am looking for info about a OM Ruger Bearcat mainspring bar and spring assembly length versus a old model Ruger Blackhawk 44 mag....i am told you can exchange these to reduce size...i am told you need to change out the spring to a stronger one...does anyone have one to see in pics what the size is in comparison to a Old Model Ruger Blackhawk one?....anyone ever try this before?....thank u all again....God Bless and have a great weekend too...John

The Bearcat hammer strut is much shorter than the Blackhawk, and will not work. Neither will the mainspring. I've never heard of anyone doing this type of modification.

well i truly appreciate the help...what my problem is the stock mainspring strut and spring are taking up real estate where the grip screw is...my hope was the Bearcat main spring strut and spring were just shorter and that would eliminate that issue with the original size of the stock one...and i think it will...looks like i need to find one of these now...God Bless,John love figuring out new stuff...have a great weekend...

I misunderstood your intentions. My mistake. I'm glad you got the information, as I would have been happy to do so as well.
If you still need pictures,, I can do that.
