I looked and looked, but it seems like the Menck tool is no longer available anywhere online and the business is no more. Shame since it had excellent reviews.DO NOT FILE THE CHAMBER!!
Use a chamber iron or contact Ruger.
Menck Chamber Ironing Tool 22 Rimfire
Swages out burrs in .22 chambers caused by excessive dry firing. Simply insert and turn, or tap against burr until chamber is smooth and round again....www.midwayusa.com
I have a Menck chamber iron...I looked and looked, but it seems like the Menck tool is no longer available anywhere online and the business is no more. Shame since it had excellent reviews.
Found this one from Tandemkross for the same price though https://www.tandemkross.com/ChamberMadeChamberIroningSwage
This. I wouldn't dry fire it anymore.Not directly answering OP and I may be totally off on this, but is it possible the damage was caused by dry firing? Pretty sure i've seen a rimfire revolver with similar damage and the cause was dry firing without snap caps
My wrangler was shooting 6in to the right at 7yds. Appeared sight was bent or barrel was cocked. Sent it in and approx 6 weeks later got a new wrangler which I had picked up on friday. I can send the reciept in for a refund of my transfer fee by Ruger.
The 4473 had nothing to do with receiving the transfer. In fact purchasing multiple handguns on the same 4473 results in additional paperwork as that purchase had to be reported to the State.I got hit with a transfer fee for my replacement gun, too. I thought that was kinda crappy considering it was the same shop that sold me the original defective gun in the first place, and the fact that I also bought a brand new S&W out of the case for over $600 while I was in there picking up the replacement Ruger, so they had to do a 4473 anyway. I questioned it, and was told that it was "policy."
Thankfully it was only $20. Ultimately I view it as a $20 lesson about how that shop views its customers, and how they don't stand behind what they sell. I had the exact opposite experience with another shop about the same distance from my house in the the other direction a few weeks ago. Guess which shop will be getting my business from now on, and which one won't.
I disagree with that. I understand that it wasn't technically their fault as they didn't make the gun, but they're stocking the product in their store, and they're servicing the customer...they should do everything they can to take care of their customer, especially if it's not actually COSTING them money. I realize that it takes time and labor to conduct a transfer, but those are soft costs, as the employee is already there getting paid anyway, and as such are easy costs to eat to make sure you leave a good impression on the customer. I also realize that the shop probably wasn't making a lot of money on that Wrangler, but they probably did pretty well on the sale of that Smith, so it's not like I was fleecing them....It is not the responsibility of the retailer to stand behind the product...
Indiana gun club.Could you imagine a gun shop that only stocked quality guns, lights, holsters and OEM parts. 90% of the gun buying public would take one look at the tag and hightail it out of there.
That basically describes Copper Custom.Could you imagine a gun shop that only stocked quality guns, lights, holsters and OEM parts.
