Who else has a Ruger SA center pin MIGRATING?

[Adam Helmer]

Last Friday I received a new Base Pin and Lock gizmo for my .44 Magnum Super Blackhawk from Ruger at no cost. I installed the parts and went to the backyard bench with the pistol and half a box of heavy 245 grain SWC handloads. I fired 24 rounds and the Base Pin STAYED put. I had one round left and fired it off and the Base Pin moved forward a half inch!!!!

Well, 24 rounds of .44 Magnum ammo fired and the pin in place is a decided improvement from what had been in the past. While cleaning the .44M, I noticed the Base Pin locking screw gizmo was loose 3 turns! I put some Locktite on the screw threads and feel comfident the Base Pin will stay put at LOOOOONG Last!

Thanks for all input on this thread. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
