Common Taurus Raging Bull 454 Problems and Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You have got a summarized version of the problems and solutions. Now, let\u2019s talk about them in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Overview of the Problems and Solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Problems<\/strong><\/td>Solutions<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Cycling Problem<\/td>Manually close the cycle, try different ammo, and clean the cylinder.<\/td><\/tr>
Extraction Problem<\/td>Hone the chamber if necessary, and clean packaging grease in the cylinder.<\/td><\/tr>
Trigger Problem<\/td>Bang the gun in a certain method, clean and lube it, and file sharp edges in internal parts.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Cycling Issue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Having cycling issues with a Taurus Raging Bull 454 means that the whole action gets locked up every now and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The frequency of this problem is not the same for everyone. It occurs when you try to pull the trigger for double action or cock back the gun\u2019s hammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A possible reason for this problem is high primers. You can know more about primers from this Wikipedia link<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By high primers, I mean the primer that is seated improperly into the pocket sticking out past the head of the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have another theory. Sometimes, you will notice that the shell gets pulled forward binding the cylinder and causing a cycling problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One can identify the binding by looking at the front of the cylinder. Such occurrences happen only in powerful rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As a temporary solution, you may try to turn the cylinder manually. It lets you close the action and ensure a proper cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you see that the cylinder is binding due to powerful rounds, you can try different ammo, and see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, you can try removing the cylinder, see whether there is any buildup, and scrub it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, ensure that the ejector does not have the buildup that happens inside a cylinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip<\/em><\/strong>: Don\u2019t use Hornady ammo as the company has a history of overloading cartridges. Even if everything is working smoothly, Hornady ammo can give you a hard time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Ejecting Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When someone faces ejecting problems in his\/her Raging Bull revolver, the used case has to be manually driven out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This experience can be very frustrating while practicing targets in a range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such problems can happen due to undersized chambers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The solution is simple. The chamber needs to be honed back to parallel to remove any roughness and make it slightly larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can either give the task to a local gunsmith or send the revolver to Taurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, make sure that the cylinders are free of any lube oil. If it is not bone dry, the used shell will stick hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Trigger Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Suppose, you have gone to a shooting range, spent several rounds, and suddenly the trigger doesn\u2019t pull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn\u2019t it frustrating? And, such incidents can be dangerous in life and death situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some reason, this kind of trigger problem happens in some Raging Bull 454 units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I have cleared the fact that it happens only in a handful of units, your chance of facing this problem is very low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirt buildup or sharp edges in internal parts can cause this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Right at the moment of a jammed trigger problem, you can apply a trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep the barrel down for safety, wiggle the cylinder a bit, and slightly shake the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pull the trigger a few more times, try the above trick, and it will fire after some attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a permanent solution, you have to disassemble the gun completely, clean it, and lubricate it thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, inspect all parts and pieces for sharp edges. File or sand them slightly not changing the dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
