mr.pepperNew Ruger
I bought my first single action for my birthday.
Got me Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44 4 5/8 barrel.
Pic is for reference this is what it looks like.

MS HitmanYes, Happy Birthday and I hope you enjoy it. Good luck with any hunting you do with it.
If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out.

DWrightSweeeet. You will like it. Happy B-day, and congrat's.

txhunter77Great B-Day present.
Now all you need is to get a Power Custom hammer, trigger, and spring kit and you'll have one helluva six shooter.

bfrshooterOh nuts, another piece of junk Ruger. You will play heck getting less then 1/2" groups at 50 yards unless you spend big bucks on all the stuff you don't need!

Yup, I am at it again.
If you lived close I would put a 2# trigger with zero creep on it FREE.
Really, it is a fine gun, don't spend money on what is not needed. All a Ruger needs is a trigger job and anyone can do that without changing any springs.

mr.pepperThanks fella's! I get to pick it up hopefully next week that's the good thing about layaway.
Whitworth, I hope to shoot it soon after I get it
picked up. This may be the one I send to Jack.
I can do some of the customizing myself as I
did on my 480.
Funny thing is I had no intention of buying
another gun Sunday just went to the outfitters
to buy some reloading "thingy's" and next thing
I know the sales guy just happens to bring this
out of the display and just couldn't pass it up.

jeffeossoruger -- SAME GUN, in 45LC

mr.pepperDidn't have one in 45LC or 41mag so I opted for the 44 instead.

Bill/OregonBFR: Agree on a trigger job. I added a Belt Mountain base pin to my 10 1/2-incher.
What is your view on fire lapping to remove barrel constrictions where the barrel is screwed into the frame? A friend with a set of pin gauges says this is a common issue in many of the Ruger single actions.
By the way, I just bought a pound of the new Alliant 300 MP magnum pistol powder and am quite impressed with early trials in the .44.
There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.

I would slug the barrel,and you will know if there are any constrictions, before fire lapping.My 2 cents OB
