Re: Prob. w/ Blackhawk

Tried the idea about the cylinder pin. Made no difference. Removed the grip and tried the key. No soap. Going to have to do some more reading to figure this out. Will appreciate any help/advice anyone might have to offer. Sincerely. bruce.

Prob. w/ Blackhawk

Have one of the 50th anniversary Blackhawks in .357 Mag. Dry firing the other night w/ snap caps. Cocking slow and easy. No foolishness. Then, went to cock the hammer. Will not come back.

Re: No rifleman here.......

It is not the number of rifles that make one a rifleman. It's what you do with the rifle you have. You have two excellent .22LR rifles. Sounds like you qualify to be called a rifleman. Sincerely. bruce.

Re: Single Six grips

Should have thought of that. Used the nylon screw simply as a stop gap. Figured I'd have to order a replacement from Gun Parts or Numrich. Calling Ruger makes better sense. Thank you for the suggestion. Would prefer to have it fixed w/ the correct parts. Sincerely. bruce.

Found a nice New Model Ruger Blackhawk.

It all began yesterday. I went to the range and had a nice time poking holes in targets with my number one most favorite hole maker ... S&W Model 18-3. Single or double action ... that thing is just a joy to hold and shoot. Got it back in 2000. Just a wonderful handgun. After finishing at the ra...
