Homebrew modifications for Ruger SAs

[texagun]

Anyone have any tips/tricks/part(s) info to help the cylinder better align with the loading gate on an "old" Ruger Vaquero???

You probably should start a brand new thread. This one is nearly 12 years old.
And welcome to the Forum.

I don't do a lot of tuning to my Rugers, but do sort of customize them. Here is my three-screw Super Blackhawk, cut to 5" and with the Blackhawk hammer, which I prefer, and color cased byn Doug Turnbull:

And here is a .45 Colt Blackhawk built up as a Bisley:

Contrary to what most other shooters say, the Bisley didn't work for me with heavy loads, so this gun is now back to a Blackhawk.

Here it is converted back to Blackhawk, with my very favorite .45 with the Super Blackhawk grip frame, my favorite for heavy .45 Colt loads:

You can do so much with a Ruger, or any other single action, for that matter.

Bob,
I admire your taste in handguns. The Bisley has never worked for me either. Beautiful work on both of those pieces. And nice photography.

Bob,
Nice, but, where's the magazine go?

I keep current magazines under the end table next to my end of the couch. Ones that I want to keep for future reference I store in the attic. Others I donate to the Senior Center or my doctor's office for patients to read while they wait. Gives them a little more man stuff than Good House keeping or Better Homes and Gardens.
