One more bump, reduced to $1,600

Btt Reduced to $1,700

Sold Ruger Hawkeye, nice condition, some small bluing wear near the front of the barrel, a little scratch on the left side and a ding on the bottom left grip panel. The dried lube on the hammer cleaned off nicely in some of the later pictures. Don’t hesitate to ask for more pics. Sadly, no...

Thank you sir.

Thank you, that is what I needed to know.

For these early SP101s is this inscription on the barrel merely a cartridge length consideration? These revolvers are pretty tough so I'd think that the cylinder and frame could handle some stout loads. Also will Ruger upgrade these? Thank you.
