Hello friends,
I just recently sent my Ruger SP101 to the factory to resolve an issue with the pawl and I just received it today. They included a statement of work that indicated the pawl and hand repairs I had needed, but they also mentioned they adjusted the "cylinder end shake".
I was surprised that was something Ruger handled unprompted as I hadn't even realized that was an issue with my gun. I've fired hundreds of rounds through it with no issue until I had the pawl/hand issue that I sent it in for.
I did some googling and I'm not satisfied that I really understand what cylinder end shake is. I'm doing some more research on the interwebs but I thought I'd ask you all as well: What is cylinder end shake, how is it adjusted, and how is it avoided?
