JC_68Westy 1,024 Posted June 21, 2009 I have the opportunity to purchase a used Old Model (3 screw) .357 Magnum Blackhawk with 6 1/2" barrel for $175. The gun has holster wear in the bluing near the muzzle, but the barrel is very clean. Any opinions on whether this is a good deal or not? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chad 3 Posted June 21, 2009 Sounds like a VERY good deal. People are getting $175 just for the flap holsters for them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rscalzo 3 Posted June 21, 2009 Just beware of the safety issue with them. Not a big deal if handled correctly for a single action revolver. http://www.ruger.com/Firearms/PDF/Safet ... thCare.pdf Some were modified to incorporate a hammer block. A gunsmith would probably be the best way to determine if it was converted. Ruger will convert it.

JC_68Westy 1,024 Posted June 21, 2009 The gun does not have the transfer bar installed, I am aware of the safety recall from many years ago. Empty chamber under the hammer... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rscalzo 3 Posted June 21, 2009 I would say it is an excellant deal. The minor wear to the bluing should not be an issue. Just keep the exterior lightly coating with oil to prevent rust. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JC_68Westy 1,024 Posted June 23, 2009 I just picked the gun up today. It looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. According to the Ruger site it was made in 1967. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
