[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1063330, member: 1290"] The barrel itself is not twisted. It has rotated in it's threads in the action and is now out of time. This is fairly common on the Ruger single action revolvers. Take the ejector tube off the side and go ahead and unthread the barrel if it will move by hand. If you need tools just let Ruger do it so you don't risk tweaking the frame. Test fit it for time and if necessary use some blue Loctite to hold it in place. If this doesn't do it return it to Ruger and they will do the same thing only with red Loctite. If it's way out and loose when the sight is straight up they will set it back and retime it. [/QUOTE]
