i don't know if i have a problem or not so i thought i would ask. i have a ruger police service six, i have noticed that if i push in on the front of the crane that it pushes in a little then comes back as if spring loaded. is this ok to push in like this?, now i'm talking about a tiny amount but just noticable. thanks
 
i'm pushing in on the front, under the barrel. it goes in just a small amount but i didn't know if this is normal, it moves back as if spring loaded, like there's a spring in there.
 
i wanted to add my cylinder spins perfect with no wobble, however my ejector rod does seem to have very slight wobble that is barely noticable. is this anything to worry about? thanks
 
The crane should be tight against the frame, so I doubt it is moving in. More likely, it is not fully seated, and can move forward a little so when you push on it it is moving back where it should be, then when you release it, it is moved forward, probably by the cylinder latch spring.

The crane on those revolvers is held by the trigger guard, so there might be wear on that part or on the crane pivot. Unless the trigger guard is just not fully seated, a loose crane would be a job for the factory.

i've took the rod out and it has a tiny bend near the middle, i was kind of afraid to hit it with a hammer so i used a large c-clamp. it didn't seem to work at all. all i have are steel hammers so will these be ok? i've checked online and everyone is out of ejector rods, it doesn't bind when ejecting as its just a small wobble but it can be seen if i look close. i hate to put it back bent and i can't find one to buy. this is my only handgun so i'm in a pickle right now, and i sure don't want to trade it off for another lesser quality gun just because of this, but i don't like going out without being armed. mabe they'l be back in stock soon. thanks for the help
 
Look at it this way: It will give your gun a subtle two-tone effect. Plus a blued ejector rod is going have the blue worn away anyway from repeated use.:)
 
BTW: If you have access to a lathe or even a drill press, you can put your old rod in the chuck at the point where the bend is, then slowly spin the chuck to see in which direction is it bent. Once you have determined the direction of the bend, you can gently tap it until it is straight.
