Dan, I would love to find a Hawkeye shooter at the lower price range. D&T is ok, almost anything as long as it is sound mechanically. I think I told you about the one I sold years ago, raising a family.

Wow. Did they make them in 3" ?

Interesting video. The revolver barrel looks to be 2 1/2" for the mag.

Years ago, I fired a 22 SS Six, 6 1/2" bbl, at a 2x4 stud wall. The shot was lengthwise and penetrated through 8 of the studs (16" apart) with the 22mag cylinder. Not very scientific but the solids do penetrate.

I don't remember them being any thinner than a 44 mag

They are good enough looking that they'd be welcome to wear here. The right amount of bark for my liking anyway. The boogered staking is on the upside-down one. Maybe someone tried to tighten that one up.

Well, it looks like there could be a new 'highest known s/n' :-)

Nice find!

Hit Img on your post and insert a link to where you pic is hosted. You can't upload one from your computer. Hit 'quote' from one of the replies with a picture in it and you can see how it should look.

Are there any updates or verification for this one? http://www.rugercollectorsassociation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6576

It looks like the grip locator pin distance from the bottom of the frame is greater too?

Check the backside of your grips. The long frame grips should be stamped with a 'c'

I bought one where you couldn't tell what was done. The trick will be finding the 'one' talented enough to do it.

That's all true. I was just saying I understood where the term Long Colt came to be, especially since long and short were terms used with other ammo. The existence of the use of 45 Long Colt itself shows it was used to identify the cartridge. This was before SAAMI. I'm a bit puzzled at the way...
