Sometime's I see revolvers with two turn rings, one where the pawl touches the cylinder and another one at or about the center of the cylinder. What causes the turn ring at the center of the cylinder and does that indicate a problem with the firearm?

I have seen them where the cyilnder stop or bolt drags (usually centered on the cylinder cuts). There is no other place that something SHOULD be touching the cylinder as it turns?

Grip frame screw is protruding through the cylinder frame and touching the cylinder.... Screw is to long.

Guys, once again, a property tuned OM should NOT have a turn ring. BUT, a properly tuned New Model WILL have a turn ring.

And.. Correct me if I have misread something... If that front grip frame screw is to long it will make a ring right where the poster is talking about..  |

That would do it, but boy I bet the hammer is hard to pull back...

COR, Flatgate on the RF, he goes by Carl here, avoids the ring on a NM by either lengthening the hammer plunger or welding up the end of the bolt so it clears the cylinder. I have not the welding skills so I live with the normal turn ring on my NM guns but there is no excuse for a turn ring on an OM Ruger if the hammer is ALWAYS brought back to full cock then let down.

And the sight screw will leave a line right at the rear of the cylinder......

I once bought a NM Ruger with a second turn line but it was from a scope mount hole that was drilled and tapped and they left the screw a hair too long down through the topstrap.

Depending upon the timing you may not be able to avoid it. Whenever I close my loading gate I position the cylinder so the bolt falls into the notch instead of on the cylinder. ~JM~ |

You can work over a NM to where it doesn't produce a turn ring. And it definitely involves modifying the hammer plunger. My dad built this 44-40 in the early 1990's. It's easily seen over 5,000 rounds and as you can tell, no ring:  -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |
