Thanks, I try to do ones that others haven't or one sees rarely. Many own these and there didnt seem to be disassembkly vids for it. Thank you for watching, means a lot.
Our heritage has been flawless over the years, but the day is coming when I get to crack it open to fix something...the company ought to advertise how simple it is to repair anything on the gun, encouraging folks to try their hand at amateur gunsmithing...the parts are available, it does not require fancy tools, and excellent videos like this show how to get it done...carry on...!
Thank you so much and yes, these are simple devices made with old technology. great fun! Thanks for the nice comment! Thanks for watching! Have a beautiful day.
You seem very knowledgeable in these little six guns.. My problem is the cases are swelling at the head. The cartridge seems to back out of being fully seated upon ignition... and the just below the rim the case swells and causes the cylinder to completely lock up... the only way to clear it is by pulling the cylinder pin out and taking the cylinder out... and then use a punch to eject the spent cases.. It happens with Augila, CCI Mini Mags and Armscor 22 LR, but not with Federal 800 round bulk pack ammo... at first I thought it was just Aguila because it's loaded hot, but with all the others, it's certainly not just the ammo... I'm thinking it's a headspace issue, but I'm no smith... It does seem to be somewhat common of a problem though... A channel called _Beets_ and video titled Heritage Rough Ryder 22LR Jams shows exactly my issue... Seen quite a few people comment the same problem in other threads too... Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated, thank you.
Wanted to touch back on the fact that heritage sells spare cylinders for reasonable pricing on their website which could remedy your issue if it is a bad cylinder, can also call heritage to see if they will honor their warranty but it may cause you to mail it to them to fix. They may be backlogged with repairs...
Good job. Your voice was very clear - no fluff (or annoying background music) - plain explanation. I appreciate how you associated each part with how it works. Just purchased a new RR. Was wondering how this broke down. Thank you 👍🏼
Very well done video.Your knowledge and direction was very helpful.Was at the range yesterday shooting our 6.5 inch Rough Rider and started to experience many light strikes.We have over 3,000 rounds through this revolver with out a light strike until yesterday.We are going to replace the the hammer spring.Thank you again for your helpful video.We subscribed.
The bottom of the hammer sits on the spring under tension and with the frame attached there isnt room to just change it by removing the grips. The top frame part does not have to be all disassembled to change the hammer spring but you will need to remove the top half to change the hammer spring. None of the small parts will fall out other than the loading gate spring and small pin so dont lose those.
The best I can understand dry firing a .22 is because you drive the firing pin against the breech. If you have the safety on with the Heritage you're only landing the hammer on the safety bolt.
I have an issue and i was wondering if you maybe have a solution, the hammer on my heritage rough rider won't stay all the way back to the 4th click it just goes straight to halfcock. Only 252 rounds in and am having this issue any suggestions? Thanks.
Sounds like you have a parts issue, a routine maintenance part which can happen. I would disassemble it and see what broke. I've had that issue before and it was a broken sear spring. You'll see what's wrong when you take it apart.
Thanks for the video showing a similar issue that I was having. Very helpful to understand more about this pistol that we found after a loss of a family member. One question, with that hammer spring, I am having lots of trouble getting it back in place under tension. How did you do that part? Any tips? Thanks!
You have to push down on it with the receiver portion before putting screws in to hold it in place. Hard to explain here ... the bottom part of the hammer makes contact with the top of the spring, squeeze the top half and tha grip half together before inserting screws ... you have to keep it under tension during assembly.
Thanks. I appreciate your help. The issue for me is that I cannot get the hammer spring under tension at all. Before I disassembled that spring it was under tension but it just falls out. Seems that that spring will not lock back in place before I attempt to take the backstrap and connect it to the receiver with the hammer. Wish I had seen this video before I had taken it apart.
I'm not sure what you mean, I can't picture that happening. the firing pin can't get stuck in the cylinder. It sticks out literally about 3 mm when struck by the hammer and strikes the rimfire casing. The firing pin is spring tensioned and retreats after it strikes the primer on the 22lr.
you CANNOT dry fire the ruger wrangler. I must have dry fired mine about 400 times... it puts a dent into every cylinder hole. Had to call ruger and have them send me a new one.
The manual says you can. I stated in my video that is the case but I didn't trust it and recommended not dry firing it. Generally with 22lr you just never dry fire.
Excellent job on this video!!

I have had similar issues with Aguila ammo! ... in these. The tolerances are loose in these ...

Great job with this video
Thanks!
Great Video. Very helpful. Clear explanation!
Great video but I'd just like to know if I ever need a new hammer spring, can I replace it by only taking off the grips and nothing else?
The bottom of the hammer sits on the spring under tension and with the frame attached there isnt room to just change it by removing the grips. The top frame part does not have to be all disassembled to change the hammer spring but you will need to remove the top half to change the hammer spring.

finally a helpful video
Wow, thanks … thank you for watching… means a lot. 😀

YES, you're exactly right.

Ruger uses music wire coiled springs. I think it's better than tradition hammer springs.

What do I do when the firing pin gets stuck in the cylinder?

Any trick to putting that hammer spring back in?
No, goes in the way it comes out. Wasn't difficult.
My trigger spring broke after I was fanning it way back then
