I have a friend who has and "old model" Ruger Single Six.
It was sent back to the factory years ago and had the transfer bar system installed.

It has a problem.

When the hammer is pulled back, the transfer bar moves straight up (it should tilt back a little) and hits on the bottom of the firing pin and the hammer can't be pulled back any further unless you point the muzzle up and gravity will then move the transfer bar back behind the firing pin and the gun can be cocked.

He said he called Ruger and they said not to send the revolver back to the company, just send the pin. Is this normal?
I assume the pin is spring loaded and it pushes the transfer bar forward.

Would this pin be something that is easily (not complicated) removed?

Thanks for your inputs.
