    FS: OM SBH Ignition Parts and OM Walnut grips.

    For Sale: Walnut Grips from pre-New Model SA Ruger, and trigger/hammer/ignition parts from 1971 OM SBH. Grips are nice, but don't fit anything I own [S6, BH, SBH- all New Models]. Not sure what they are from, but believe OM SBH. Buyer beware- there is no guarantee what they fit, as I can't try...

    Can a .357mag BH convertible owner help me out with some #s?

    I'll get live ammo next to try it, but very carefully. I use the A-Zoom snap caps- they seem to be better than average quality. But, still not live ammo.

    Can a .357mag BH convertible owner help me out with some #s?

    Ok, I can make a mountain out of it. I got home, swapped the cylinder, threw some snap caps into the chambers, and attempted to cycle the cylinder. It stuck on the frame. So, I am in a definite 'no go' position. I am leaning toward sending the gun back to Ruger to fix the .357Mag cylinder...

    A Place for P-Nuts... & Other Goobers

    I have had a P97 since 2001. I really don't shoot it much anymore, but I think it would be a tie between it and a 1911 if I were down to my last .45acp handgun. I actually bought a Sig P220Combat and an HK USP .45c, and owned all three at the same time. I did a 'shoot off', to see how they...

    Can a .357mag BH convertible owner help me out with some #s?

    Hmm, This leads me to another option- as I don't reload [yet]. Let's assume I get the gun fine-tuned and the .357mag cylinder is fit correctly for timing, cylinder gap, endshake and headspace. Let's THEN Assume I can get the 9mm cylinder fit to this gun for timing, cylinder gap and endshake...

    Can a .357mag BH convertible owner help me out with some #s?

    thanks Gunzo and woodperson, That is exactly what I am looking for. I bought a 9mm cylinder to make my .357mag into a convertible. However, my headspace measurement is .057"- or too close. I honestly don't know if this cylinder/frame measurement is what Ruger uses- but it is all I could do...

    Can a .357mag BH convertible owner help me out with some #s?

    I am trying to figure something out- headspace measurements on 9mm cylinder when installed in Blackhawk. If any of you have feeler gauges, a .357mag Blackhawk convertible model and some time, could you makes some measurements for me? Specifically, can you use the empty 9mm cylinder, installed...

    How difficult to fit a 9mm cylinder to a BlackHawk?

    Thanks all. I will follow your advice. I was aware that the cylinder latch holds the alignment, but also thought that the hand/pawl pushes up on the cylinder. as the trigger is pulled and held back [firing conditions]. This could cause a slight mis-alignment of the cylinder to the bore, even...

    How difficult to fit a 9mm cylinder to a BlackHawk?

    I have a NM Blackhawk [1974 model, I believe]. I found a 9mm cylinder for it and now want to see about fitting it. It is ok fore/aft motion. However, the bore/chamber alignment needs to be tested. I can't find the proper chamber guide/rods for 9mm that are long enough for the 6 1/2" barrel. I...

    P-85 10 rounders for Kali?

    The law here is weird. Prior to July 2017, the rule was that the owner can possess the magazines IF they possessed them WITHIN the state borders BEFORE January 1st of 2000. So, moving here with them = no. This was a means of grandfathering in mags for those who legally possessed them before...
