Jim Schafer
I got my latest ROCS Journal the other day. (Excellent as usual)!
But I was sorely saddened by the discovery that Jim Schafer had passed away. I hadn't heard of his passing. Jim was truly a gentleman & we'll miss him.
Thoughts & prayers out to his family.

Re: Working on the SA's
I forgot to add that I have since modified 92) of the grip frame screws a little. I chucked them in my lathe, and cut back the hex sides a little further. I found the screw shanks could possibly rub the trigger guard on a few of them. So I cut the hex edges back a bit & rounded them a little too.

Working on the SA's
When we get to tinkering with our Ruger SA handguns,, we often have to disassemble & re-assemble them often. Long ago, I found a set of "tools" to make this super easy. A recent post elsewhere caused me to post the info there. I figured I'd share it here. If you are discussing the asse...

Re: Single Six grips
A call to Ruger can get you as many grip locator pins as necessary.

Re: Single Six grips
No problem helping. It's also possible someone wallowed out the hole to get them to fit a different grip frame at some point. OR,,,,,,,, I have on a rare occasion,, seen a gun WITHOUT the grip locator pin installed. Usually because someone cannibalized that pin for a different g/f. Just add a pin. P...

Re: Found something I have only heard about. But it breaks my heart.
I stand corrected, not a long frame. As such,, the period correct Super Blackhawk grips can be swapped to give you a better looking set.
RadicalRod is correct in his info on the grips & the "C" stamping.

Re: Single Six grips
DON'T OVERTIGHTEN WOOD GRIPS!!!!!!!!! This is how they break from the inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's possible someone replaced the grips. You can find a better fitting set. Or you can check the grip locator pin & hole. Some folks have filled in the hole,, then re-drilled it to fit better. Oh,,...

Re: Found something I have only heard about. But it breaks my heart.
A good one to find for sure. It appears to be a "long frame" (not 100% sure,) so yes,, a better looking set of grips would be a hard thing to find. And as noted above,, storing them in those boxes is NOT a good idea. Now,, if it's a regular grip frame,, you can have an easier time getting ...
