If you own a Ruger single action wheelgun and like to understand what makes it tick, this is the reference that lives on the workbench. Written by the late Jerry Kuhnhausen and published by Heritage Gun Books, the Ruger Single Action Revolvers Shop Manual combines both of his original volumes into one 255-page softbound book. It covers Old Model and New Model Rugers in depth, including the Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk, Vaquero, and Single Six, plus supplemental notes on the Old Army, Bearcat, and a handful of out-of-production models. The book runs 6 x 9 inches with a durable plastic laminated cover that stands up to shop use.
This is a working gunsmithing manual, not a coffee table read. It lays out complete disassembly and reassembly, parts identification across Old Model, New Model, and OM transfer bar conversion actions, plus step-by-step troubleshooting, inspection, and repair. Kuhnhausen goes into the cycle of operation, action timing, accuracy work, rebarreling, and mechanical restoration, along with the safety considerations behind each modification. There is a full parts section and detailed cartridge and chamber data too.
Jerry Kuhnhausen spent seven decades repairing, accurizing, and building firearms, and ran a sporting goods store where he built a name for high-quality gun work before turning his shop notebooks into manuals. That hands-on background shows. The book carries 600-plus photos, ordnance-style drawings, principle illustrations, and exploded parts diagrams that make the internals easy to follow. Folks who work on their own guns tend to call it the go-to book for Rugers, and it reads well whether you are a serious hobbyist taking your first revolver apart or a pro fine-tuning an action.
Heritage Gun Books continues to publish the Kuhnhausen series, and this title remains the standard the rest are measured against. Made in the U.S.A.
It covers both Old Model and New Model Ruger single actions, including the Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk, Vaquero, and Single Six. There is also supplemental data on the Old Army, Bearcat, and several out-of-production models. You get action parts identification for Old Model, New Model, and OM transfer bar conversion designs.
It works for both. The writing is technical and thorough, but the 600-plus photos, exploded diagrams, and step-by-step procedures make it approachable for a hobbyist taking a revolver apart for the first time. Serious gunsmiths keep it on the bench as a reference, and it scales well as your skills grow.
This is the expanded two-in-one edition that combines Volumes I and II into a single 255-page softbound book. You are getting the complete reference in one binding, not just half of it.
It walks through complete disassembly and reassembly, parts replacement, troubleshooting, and inspection for each model. Beyond basic repair, it gets into action tuning, timing, accuracy improvement, rebarreling, and mechanical restoration, along with the safety side of each modification. There is also a full parts section plus cartridge and chamber data.
