For those wondering how the Wrangler is built and what the internals look like...
It's pretty much just another Ruger single-action, but with aluminum frames, and unretained base pin, and no half-cock.
I didn't realize until reassembly that I could have used the trigger spring pin in place of the main spring / hammer strut retaining pin (hence the drill bit). I probably won't remember next time, either.
The hammer color and finish look really funky - almost as if it's cast aluminum. But, it's strongly magnetic and definitely hardened. So, perhaps it's plated.
There was no lube inside, whatsoever. It was absolutely bone dry.
That little smudge of oil on the grip frame was residual oil from the way the cylinder shipped sopping with oil (wiped down multiple times, and the revolver saw about 80 rounds on its first outing).
