Howdy Pard
Hank has put down some good sugestions, and web sites , but one thing I need to point out , with the exception of the Ruger manual,on the new model Vaquero, the other web sites are refering to the Old Model Vaquero, and some of these things , and parts numbers will not work on the NMV, if you need hammer springs or reduced tension hammer springs , I suggest you go to
www.gunsprings.com, I ordered springs from Brownells , and they sent me the long springs for the OMRV, when I called them, they told me they were the right ones , but there not , I called Wolff , which is Gun Spring . com, and told them the problem I was having , and they told me that Brownells was having a codeing problem , and it probably won't be fixed until there next catalog came out , (They think) anyway I ordered my springs from Wolff and they sent the right ones, which are shorter in length, I've had my guns apart several times , for cleaning degreaseing ,polishing and putting in some of Wes Flowers special parts to help eliminate, the ring around the cylinder problem, which the Vaquero's come with from Ruger, it doesn't hurt anything but me being me I just didn't like it , so by putting Wes's made by him personally parts in my NMRV, no more ring around the cylinder. I found useing the manual that came with my gun , to be very useful in taking the gun apart and putting it back together, it has all the good tips you need to get the job done, if you're not sure as to what to polish , just leave it alone , these guns will smooth them selfs out with use. (IMHO)
It's not hard Pard , and it's a good way to learn about your gun, so have fun
