Single Six Hammer&Trigger

[burton93]

It's a long shot, but does anyone have a stainless Bisley hammer and trigger for a Single Six that they would sell?
It's the last thing I need to put my Single Seven back together from a RW grip frame swap. If I can't find one soon, it'll have to go back to factory grip frame.
Ruger told me they don't sell hammers and triggers.

Single-Six Bisley parts are hard to find. Not cheap when you do.

I talked with Ronnie earlier this week and he did mention that he is working on NM Hammers, we didn’t discuss Single Six Bisley specifically but where he has done them in Old Model, and there is a demand, I have to believe he will have em.
It seems like he has a lot of irons in the fire, it might a a patience thing.

The few parts I have received from him are EXCELLENT, very well made.

The other option is make your own, need a good TIG welder, either the welder and some skill or somebody that can.😉

I've talked to Ronnie a bit about this project. I've got a grip frame and all for this. I'm at the point where I'm about to buy a stainless bisley from GB just to rob the hammer and trigger from....just figured I'd ask on here before I did just that.

Uhhhhhh…… just a note……the full size Bisley hammers on the available guns you speak of will not work, they’re a different size. Triggers are the same.

Glad you found one….

"Ruger told me they don't sell hammers and triggers."

Wonder when this started, has anyone else been told this? I haven't ordered anything for quite awhile.

This was a couple months or so ago. They told me hammers and triggers were not for sale at this time. I talked to Ronnie about it and he mentioned he had heard the same thing from several others, the reason he's in the process of designing his own hammers and triggers.

I think it's hit or miss with hammers and triggers. But more miss than hits.

 Absolutely spot on Kevshell. More miss than hit.
This round of managment has no desire to cater to the regular ole joe. And that has come straight from the horses mouth.
All of what i and others have been able to lay there hands on from say, Midway or brownells are definately blims.
I Love Ruger, but i am tired of working on a part for hours to get it to some measure of usability much less perfection.
They will never produce any more blued steel hammers because the stainless will work for both. That is there stance.
The problem here is , BILL and Junior are gone now and nobody gives an obese rodents behind about single actions at the top now.
So To hell with it. i am making my own. I have the old models down. so now its the New models turn and i am right smack dab in the middle of it.
Today is the finall steps and machining of the new model single six conventional work holding.
These are not cast crap that are dimentionally all over the place. They will be spot on and made to work on any new model.
However like my good freind and mentor David Clements, I AM ANAL!!!!!!!!!!! OCD or what ever you want to call it.
I have to make them producable as well and that takes time. Several things that i wanted to improve is consistancy though.
I have noticed so many times that when you look at the back of the grip frame ears surounding the back of the hammer, the hammer is down or inset and that drives me crazy.
See the area pointed out with a red arrow that i am talking about.. I know that seems silly but i want that even. It just looks better and its a WHILE IM AT IT kindof thing.




So here are a couple of new model blanks before machining to give you an example.
Ruger on the right notice the extra .075 thousandths on the back of mine. That seemed to be the average so far.
 By the way these are the Super Blackhawk Mini spured Single 6 blanks with a .490 wide spur just like its big brother.




They are cleared out on the sides .006 thou just like the old model so that the bluing or what me and Bobby and Dusty figured out how to do this week in Friona. ( Case colored)
Bobby has a fantastic handle on his procees but we experimented with temperatures for this Material and got a winner. These are Heat treated then tempered to perfection and then case colored a little differenty so that they would retain a 100 percent of there hardness. I am very pleased. And they are beautiful. AND they will last.



Even my Old Armys are cleared out.




These new models are a priority because of a dozen 500 Linebaugh builds and another dozen 38 special single sixes that are complete less a super ninja ultra Boogie down hammer.
Get them done and they are out the door.
Then, hahahahaha, oh ya.   you know. BUT WAIT, THERES MORE. lol
And this might not be the place and please forgive if this is considered a high jack. but i am very happy to report that my drawings and programs are done for another crazy idea you guys came up with, GOD Bless you.



Yes sir ee.
REDHAWK HAMMERS.

Here is a preview.
RedHawk Bisley Spur.



REDHAWK SUPER Blackhawk wide spur.




AND REDHAWK Smith And Wesson N frame spur.

I really like this one. Cant wait to test it.And or perfect it.

I have a donor for one of your 38 Single Six conversions. But you can put me down for quite a few hammers when they become available. Especially if they are case colored.

NO HIJACK
Some really good information here,,, right from the horse’s mouth!!!

Those that have had the opportunity to use Ronnie Wells Grip Frames & Parts, know of the high quality, accuracy, and perfect finish.

Well i love polite men.  A smarty pants obnoxious man tends to discourage and i mean no harm. And i didnt want to step on any toes with my ole size 13 honkersaurus rex squatch boots and my big mouth.
And i wanted to be polite. so i apologised early just in case bud. hahaha.
we did kindof go from the base single six hammers to a double action so i felt i needed to atleast poin that out.
Thanks bud.

added later after thinking about it a bit.
I have been working on some USFA Hammers for a gentleman we all know and adore here.
He has a pair that someone altered and needed replacing so i wanted the colors to come out just right, so at Bobbys, we experimented on this material with some old model stuff to get it just right. And to maintain the correct hardeness thru out and not just made pretty at the hammers agilitys expense. Its Perfect so now all i have to do is get the stippling or diamond pattern bugged out on the spur and he will be in business. Then these will also be available along with Colt replacements.

again,lol
