I took the grips off, removed the mainspring and replaced the stout trigger return spring with a Wolff 30 oz spring to lighten the trigger pull a bit (I kept the mainspring stock.)
Upon reassembly, the pawl seemed to stick after a couple of trigger-weight scale dry-fires. I couldn’t cock the hammer, the cylinder was bound up, etc. I got the cylinder out with some finagling, pulled the grips are replaced the Wolff with the stock trigger return spring. Upon putting it together it will function 4-5 times normally then it is locking up.
I have done this swap on my Birdshead Wrangler with no issues (and a decent reduction in trigger pull weight and feel.) Same for regular Blackhawks, no issues.
With the UPS ban on gun shipping from non ffl’s I really don’t want to have the hassle of going to my dealer to send it back to Ruger. Is there something the action that I can check first to see if I popped something loose or am I stuck sending it in? Thanks.
Stay safe.
