DA Ruger guys don't faint, I'm still a hard core DA guy. I bought a .30 Carbine NM Blackhawk when I was at the OGCA show this past weekend. I came upon this BN31 and after reading a lot of posts about them decided I wanted one...and the price was right. I have plenty of .30 Carbine ammo as I own a M1 Carbine also so no problem there.
Here's the Info:
Red and White box, Box end label:
New Model "BLACKHAWK"
.30 Carbine Cal Revolver
Catalog No. BN31 7 1/2" Bbl
The s/n was written in white on the front of the box
s/n 51-13163, dates to 1978
Has the Southport "Warning" address on the left side
Included the manual marked MRN5/25/4-78 and the light blue Ruger/NRA card
With walnut grips. Next to NO turn line. The guy selling it was selling for a friend and he said he didn't think the guy ever shot it. Looking at the barrel and cylinder/cylinder face I would have to agree. Bought some grips that Bill Hamm was selling because I liked the looks and thought they would look good on the gun. They are a bit thick at the top but they fit my hand fine so I'll work on that later.
