![]() Is one of the nations leading manufacturers of rugged, reliable firearms for thecommercial sporting market.Īs a full-line manufacturer of American-made firearms, Ruger offers consumers over700 variations of more than 40 product lines, from the ubiquitous 1022 andMini-14, to the new and exciting PC Carbine, Security-9,EC9s, Ruger Precision Rimfire, LCP II, Mark IV, RugerAmerican Pistol and Ruger Precision Rifle. If it helps, the serial number of the one I had seperate is 501-10445. Im not surprised that whoever you spoke to at Ruger didnt know of it as it was so few of them it affected. Yes, Im one of the very few people who actually had this happen.Yes, it was a Redhawk, NOT the Super Redhawk.Iron Mike did a very good job of summing it up.It was basically a VERY SMALL bunch, and it was due to the prolonged time the lube sat on the barrels, (over a long weekend, etc) vs an overnight type of issue. Shoot it and enjoy it.BTW, that bear wont care how long your barrel is, just keep shooting.Skip. If there is a problem with a Ruger, their customer service has been very good to me in the past.Skip. I also believe that the problem was very tiny in scope, so nothing to be really concerned about. Got an e-mail back from them saying they were unaware of a problem like that ever existing. I E-mailed Ruger to see if my serial number fell in the problem range. Some time back, I bought an unfired 5 12 Redhawk, still in the box, that was made back in the mid to late eighties. My understanding is if there are any guns still out there that have not been fixed, then a free trip to Ruger will make it safe. I do think Ruger has a serial number list, though, so a phone call with the serial number should put it to bed for a particular gun. Put it in high humidity, uncovered, for a few days and it does.So, theres no last serial number you can go. ![]() The thin film left in place after assembly didnt have enough of whatever bad chemical to cause a problem.Ī comparison would be the moisture in exhaling once over the sugar bowl wont casue the sugar to cake up. Instead, they sat overnight or over the weekend, to be assembled to frames on the next workday.A thick covering of the lube over time caused the issue. The problem guns were ones where the threads were lubed, but barrels not immediately assembled to frames. The barrels had a generous amount of lube applied to the threads and the excess wiped off after assembly with the frame. ![]()

![]() ![]() There’s a little playful activity, but you’re confined to the limits of that particular plankton’s sounds. Each of the 10 music generators is confined to a very small number of sounds or sound patterns, and there’s no combining among them. The DS has no storage or memory cards, so you can’t save any of the music you create. ![]() On the contrary, there are no results in Electroplankton - or at least not lasting ones. And the results, in the right hands, can be remarkably similar.” ![]() Thompson is right when he says that “today’s music software has learned something important from games: Creative tools work best when they inspire playful activity.” But he’s wrong when he says the game is “modeled after the music-editing software professional sound engineers use to produce songs. I felt the same way about Electroplankton as I did about Nintendogs: It’s a great start, but because the DS isn’t very powerful there isn’t much to do. And there's no violence or death, just sweet, original music.Clive Thompson’s column about Electroplankton and music programs reminds me that my review of Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time (belated, I know) and Electroplankton is up here. An audience mode lets you watch and listen to the plankton make beautiful music together, which can be a lot more fun than an iPod. ![]() The options are limitless, and it's easy to get lost playing with these musical microbes. With one tap of the stylus, the Rec-Rec plankton will record any sound via the DS's microphone and replay them in a loop. With the Hanenbow plankton, which sound like xylophones when they leap out of the water and bounce off low-lying leaves, you use the stylus to position the leaves. Depending on how fast or slow, the notes change. The Tracy plankton, which produce six piano notes, follow the lines you draw on the bottom screen with the stylus. In performance mode, which is the heart of the game, the plankton are "awakened" by tapping the stylus on the screen or speaking into the microphone. Gameplay utilizes every facet of Nintendo DS's functionality, including the microphone, the stylus and both screens (DS stands for duel screens). There are 10 species of plankton, each with unique names, colors and behaviors (which create different sounds such as chimes, piano tones and beats).Įach species inhabits a different area, which means you cannot mix and match species (at least not with this first game). Just as "Nintendogs" was more a puppy simulator than an actual game, "Electroplankton" plays more like an interactive multimedia synthesizer. Actually, calling this a game is misleading. Although Sony's PSP has received most of the hype in the next-generation handheld battle, Nintendo DS has quietly been marching along.įollowing in the innovative paws of "Nintendogs," "Electroplankton" is a game anyone can enjoy. ![]() ![]() ![]()
