I picked up these two to add to the single action collection, only for the serial #s, RUGER-034 and JOYCEH-034. Part of a run for the anniversary of Ruger and Hornady.

Welcome from Maine.

Trade made

Early XR3 Hard Rubber Blackhawk grips, excellent condition, no browning. Medallions are complete and no wear. Need a set of GP 100 Rubber and walnut grips

Welcome from central Maine

I finally had a chance this afternoon to dig into Richard's 41 mag notes. I found extensive notes on brass frames and "D" BKH 41s and 42s. I did find a letter a with "D" serial #, that the factory claimed was D marked, but the actual Blackhawk did not have a "D" stamp. I found numerous...

I currently have all of Richard's remaining OM .41s as well as a few that I have added (the 2 digit serial #s and brass framed versions excluded). None of them are D marked. I've got most of his notes and all of the factory letters as well. The Army has me out of the country at the moment but...

Thank you. Greatly appreciated. The more I dig into it, the more I realize he forgot more than I will ever learn about single action Rugers.

I apologize if this is an overly simple question but I've been digging and can't find an answer for certain. Did Old Model BKH 34Xs and 36Xs come in a labeled BKH 34X and 36X box or simply in a 34 or 36 box? Very familiar with the cylinder boxes. Thank you.

I have two of them, D30-38756 BKH 34x with letter and more interestingly D30-97623, this one has a backwards "D", super grip frame, trigger, and hammer. Waiting on the letter for this one. I do have one other BKH 36 that letters with the MR-3-D super grip frame and MR 40-44-S super hammer.

I grew up in a "part time" gun shop that outsold the local full time sales shop. News paper advertising was a crucial aspect in establishing, however that was a pre-digital age time. It did take time to build a customer base but it didn't take long by paying a fair price for used guns and then...

Rod, At this point in time I have only manage to inventory all of the guns, most of the grips, none of the Blackhawk parts, and only about 1/4 of the collection paperwork. The only thing I have come across in regards to SNs #14 & 15 is some printed email traffic between my Dad and a close...

Hi Scott, I have been trying to track you down for a little while. I have some of the shipping papers, all of the Ruger letters, certificates, and a couple of the original invoices, and a couple of other pieces of paper on them. Same for a couple of the other early digit SNs (15 sticks out...
