Am I the only one who's ROA isn't reliable?

I had the same problems with CC! magnums...it took two strikes to set them off..I went back to Remingtons and never had that problem again...I tried the CCI magnums in a Thompson Hawken rifle just to use them up and still had the same problem

You may want to read the thread, the caps were not the problem.

I've been shooting the CCI #11 magnums for 2 or 3 years, and shot standard CCI #11's before that. Last year I went through about 500-600 caps between my TC renegade, TC new Englander, and TC scout pistol, including firing below zero. This year, in addition to those, I also used a CVA mountain rifle, and a Pedersoli 10 gauge SXS. The pedersoli accounting for 200-300 caps itself.

Not ONCE, and I mean it, did I ever have a cap not fire. When I pulled the trigger, it went bang 100% of the time no matter the conditions.

The problem was the hammer of this ROA, and after replacement, it seems fine. It sets off the same CCI caps now.

I'm glad that Ruger took care of it.
They did produce the last several hundred ROA's a few years or so ago, so maybe that's when they produced some of the spare parts.
You lucked out, and it's worth it to not have to worry about fixing it yourself.
Especially once you realized what was wrong with it.
