I'm in Irmo, SC a bedroom community for Columbia these days. In the old days Irmo was where all the rail road tracks from in town met the main line heading out. Lake Murray is just down the road from my house. So in a couple of years it's fishing boat time.

I've seen some of your collection and you work projects. You are of course way ahead of me on experience and volume when it comes to BP Revolvers.
I'm fortunate to have a few decades of experience in modern firearms plus the Ruger Owners Manual, in PDF for the ROA. I gather the loading lever and plunger are one of those quirks about the ROA best found out in the den than on a range. I will be keeping my eye on that in the future. Any other heads up information would of course be appreciated. I'm going to do a complete disassembly and reassembly when I get a chance, before a range trip. Old Bill Ruger put a lot of thought into his entry into BP Revolvers.
I have a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan that I've did some after factory clean up, plus polishing and tune up on which give me some experience with the basic design of the ROA, sans the BP additions/changes to it. First time out she's getting a less than full charge, plus some corn meal I'm no glutton for recoil. Later on I'll have to of course go a few full loads just for the heck of it.
Thanks for the comments gentlemen.
