Not a bad ol' flatgate, Andrew.

Andrew, the Ruger lockwork mechanism is so simple that even I can troubleshoot, fix, and improve it...and I'm all thumbs. Before you send it to Ruger, take it apart, give it a good cleaning, and see if that helps.

I have found that most Rugers that won't cycle are easily fixed with either a good cleaning (especially 22s) and a few parts replaced.

Their description of "won't cycle" could be a simple fix.

From the picture, it looks like the trigger is very forward in the trigger guard. Could be a broker trigger sear, which is easily fixed with a trigger. Heck, you can even take a conversion trigger and cut off the transfer bar link...that would be a very cheap and easy fix. I have plenty of conversion parts and could send you one if that's what it needs.

Now, of course, if you want it converted, reblued, etc... then sending it to Ruger is the way to go.
