My best friend bought a 3-screw Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum from the estate of Terry Murbach (Will Terry here on the Ruger Forum).
It had been converted to the transfer bar at some point, so value as an original 3-screw was not a concern.
My buddy shot 400 rounds of Magnums and Special through it and loves Terry's gun.
But then something broke and the gun would not cock or rotate the cylinder. He cleaned it and shook it and followed some other advice.
Then he called Ruger. They emailed him a pre-paid call tag. He sent the gun to Ruger. They replaced a broken transfer bar, test fired the revolver, cleaned it, and then shipped it back to my friend. All no charge. And the entire process, including shipping both ways took a week and a half.
OUTSTANDING! It's why I would never hesitate to recommend a Ruger firearm to anyone.
Just thought I'd share as good stories don't always make it around.
