I've found the speed of responses from overseas firearm manufacturers to be glacial at best.

While im waiting for my new trigger assembly to arrive from the states, i had a play on the milling machine with a piece of 12mm Acetal plastic and made this for the interim....just call me 'Bubba'.....but not to my face!!!!!!:ORLY:

Hey Bubba, there is no photo
All the other photos were interesting though :-)
Arrrrgh, so if i delete it from Photo bucket, it deletes the photo from here, yes?
Photos don't really give away anything to worry about though.
Where did you source the Acetal plastic?
Ahem...whisper....work!
Yup even information that should be pretty easy to get or understand such as my request as to whether the trigger sear in the American Ranch was Tool steel or chemically hardened. After removing .4 off it I can confirm its tool steel. decided if it wasn't we'd just drop in a Timney, but 2 months give or take for a 10 second response...Hmmmm
yes Glacial!!!

Comment / question:
I require Information on whether the metal used in the Trigger unit for the American Rifle units (I have a ranch in 300BLK)is fully hardened metal or chemically surface hardened as is in some of the other Ruger models as I need to hone / polish the trigger sear to get and remove creep out of the marksman trigger. Need to know before embarking or it is likely that honing will uncover gritty quality metal underneath making the fix / polish irrelevant to fixing the creep felt in the pull.

A not unsurprising response - they are shit scared their ass may end up in a sling if something goes wrong.
I had a similar response from Theoben UK when I asked about a trigger mod. Ha, they recommended that I DIDN"T attempt it and that I send the gun back to them. Yeh right.
"Bubba's" back........:ORLY:
