Give it to me straight, how bad or unusual is this? It isn't visible on the exterior of the frame. Only on the inside so it doesn't appear very deep.
Would Ruger take care of this?

| I know they do not waranty their shit but bet they fix that with a replacement or repair of some sort,would look bad in their file if it blew.Was that damage done from more than full house heavy loads? look like the reason to me,I own two a regular and super both shot with regular loads but never saw that begin to happen |

I am pretty sure Ruger would replace that for you. You will have to pay for the transfer but I would call them and let them know what you see and consider sending it to them. Shipping could be very expensive for you but if you have a dealer that will mail it priority mail it can save you some money compared to Fed Ex Overnight! Good Luck! ETA: Worst case they repair it if it is a small crack. |

I had a Bisley with an improperly indexed barrel and they paid for overnight shipping both ways and threw in an action and trigger job, free. I got it a week or so after they sent the UPS guy to pick it up from me. If you call Ruger up and tell them the frame is cracked they should help you out pronto. |

Ruger firearms do not carry any warranty. That doesn't mean anything because as you said, they DO take care of you, but they officially do not have a warranty. |

At first I thought it was a scratch as well, but looking at it closely, it definitely seems to be a crack. It doesn't protrude to the outside of the frame and seems to be not very deep in nature. Almost like it just started...
I noticed it last night right before I started cleaning it from some shooting last week.I am going to give Ruger a call and see what they say. |

i'm not a revolver expert, but it could be a crack (perhaps induced by a casting flow) even though it doesn't go through both sides.
think if you had a c-clamp. if there's a flaw on the inner portion towards the center, and you tighten the sucker down reallllly hard, the crack will grow from the flaw. it'll just start growing radially out until you stress it enough to drive that crack through to the other side. |
