Gun Safe Revolver
can a car get hot enough in the summer to make ammo go off?
due to where I work I have to leave my revolver in my car because of company regulations. I lock it in a steel safe bolted down to the floor in my explorer so it doesn't get stolen. If I leave my windows up during a very hot summer day could the ammunition in the gun go off?
Paper and cellulose will spontaniously combust at about 410 degress F. When the day comes your steering wheel melts and the maps catch on fire all by themselves - I think you will have bigger things to worry about than the ammo going off.
That said - heat is not good for ammo. All powder has a small amount of moisture and light oils in it. When this gets 'cooked off' due to heat the powder becomes fragile - and the individual grains will crack and break - especially when handled while in this condition. Break enough of the flakes (pistol + shotgun powder) or rods (large rifle powder) and you no longer have a slow buring smokeless powder - you have dust that will all burn at once (exploded). This is one major reason you find ball powder in all military rifle loads - it is much less succeptable to this.
Just as heat is bad for ammo - so is extreme cold. Different principles - but the results are the same as above.
I have the same company policy. I keep the gun in my car - but the magazines are in my lunch box.
Great question.

What should I look for when buying a used SA revolver?
A neighbor has a Ruger Blackhawk SA pistol for sale. It looks pretty nice. What should I examine to make sure it's in good mechanical condition and safe? Any problems with these guns to watch out for?
SA guns are a lot easier to check out because there is no complex double-action to worry about and fewer moving parts. Timing checks should be minimal because SA guns are manually cocked in a very affirmative way. Unless one has been fanned (which Ruger does not reccomend) timing should not be an issue. The "steps" on the rear of the cylinder (or "teeth" as one responder called them) should probably be ok, for the same reason the timing should be ok. But check anway. They will be worn down some if the gun were shot substantially, but that is normal. The forcing cone ("stub") should be crack free. What is of vital imp[ortance is how secure the cylinder rod is when locked into the frame/cylinder assembly. This is the achilles heel of an SA gun. On all revolvers, (SA,SA/DA,DAO) the area of the frame right below the barrel is the focal point of the most pressure when the gun is fired. If the rod is too owrn or the hole in the frame has been widened by wear, the cylinder will have a real loose feeling. Check for this. The rod should not be hard to get out of a well used gun, but it should not be "too easy" to get out either. Lastly, check the trigger/sear/hammer area of the gun to make sure the gun is safe. Also you can look down the barrel (after gun has been "cleared" for live rounds) and check chambers for any damage or improper care. Don't worry about the grip so much, you can get a new one. Same for the sights. They are good guns, but I hate the aluminum grip frame deal. Unfortunately Ruger won't wise up and make a Vaquero with adjustable sights! That would wipe out the Balckhawks.
