Ruger chamber throats

Hi,
What it with the cylinder throats in the new model Vaquero?
They all look like they were scraped out with a dull steak knife. I have seen them in several shops and they all look pretty rough.

Unfortunately, this is not uncommon. They need to be polished out, and they could be undersized, or even egg shaped, as with a .44 I once bought. Send it back first, then, if you don't get satisfaction, take it to a gunsmith that knows revolvers.

I haven't noticed that with my New Vaquero. The cylinder is also correctly dimensioned. A .4515 jacketed bullet will just slide through with no restriction or looseness. All some of these guns need is a little shooting. If it does shoot poorly, let Ruger correct it for you. 44 Man

I second the try it and let Ruger fix; if there is a problem. Ruger customer service is second to none, at least with me and a lot of other Ruger owners who have had problems, and written of excellent service.

Hi,
I had seen this on a number of new vaquero's in shops around my area. Then I checked out one that a friend had just purchased recently in 45 colt and it had the same "feature". I do not think that it is too much of an issue although I would expect it to lead heavily in the chambers. I recently purchased an old model vaquero and the chambers are nice and smooth. I wouldn't suppose that Ruger is single point boring them instead of the traditional gang reamer setup to save on the cost of reamers. Modern CNC can do this if setup correctly.
