Well hello again, finally, everyone! It's been a long time since I started this thread, and a whole ton of life has interfered with my continued participation in this research, but things have finally settled down, after literally years, for me and I'm glad to see that this project is still...

Looking for some input from everyone. Discovered a 32 mag single six for sale at a LGS today. 4 &5/8" barrel, very faint turn line. Adjustable sights. Has the original box and all the paper, cards, plastic, etc, that apparently came with it. S/N 650-186xx. (1986 manufacture?) Consignment sale...

First off, I'd like to thank everyone who offered facts and opinion about this particular revolver, and helped educate me about the "rareness" and "desirability" associated with it, as well as value and pricing. I know more now than when I wrote the original post, and that's why guys like me...

So now here's the next dumb question- remember, guys, I'm not really a collector (yet- maybe after you help me to clear this up I may start, if I can still buy this particular revolver). Are there only 900 three digit OM Blackhawks out there, or are there 900 in each caliber Ruger offered? And...

Thanks for the advice and ideas, guys. To clarify, I'm not really looking for a .30 Carbine Blackhawk, but when I took a look at this revolver and saw the three digit serial number, I can tell you, I started thinking about it. After all, how often does any of us really get to see one, let alone...

Hi Everyone- Just returned from a local show where I passed on a 3 digit OM Blackhawk in .30 carbine- SN# 732. Looked about perfect. Two piece yellow box, manual and card- no shipper. Guy was asking $700. Did I make a mistake not grabbing it? Still have his contact info and can always see if he...

PM sent.

Before throwing my 2 cents in here, I think all of us here that are interested in this project should thank Pete for the work he's done compiling the charts. Now for my input: I think both NH Rugerman and Pete are both correct regarding the conflict in the manufacturing dates vs. the shipping...

Thanks, Ruger #1 guy- I just went over there to look (and join) and they have five on their list. One is a duplicate, four are numbers that we don't have. Will have to add them to the list later today. That brings us up to 27 now- Dave

Chet- Update for you, and for everyone who is interested. I have joined the other forum (RugerForum.net) and contacted the administrator who says he is going to post our inquiry over there as a sticky in the single- shot rifle topic. It's not up yet- I'll keep an eye on it, and if we get...

Found one that I was considering buying to add to the list. #132-55373. Checked the older posts and found a few that haven't showed up here so far. Right now we are up to 10. 5% of the rumored total number after one day... Is there a way to post this list somewhere, where people can just add to...

Another thought came to me after I wrote the original post. I'm sure there are plenty of guys out there that have bought and sold these rifles in the past- if you have serial number records from those transactions, please post them. Doesn't matter who owns it now- we're just trying to confirm...

I (actually me and the missus) am the happy new owner of a couple of #3's in .44 magnum. Very recent purchases, specific for whitetail deer hunting on our homestead in north central Indiana. Picked them up through the efforts of of a couple of forum members, Heliman and Bearstopper, who I'd like...

Went out with my daughter, her husband, and his father. They're all relatively new to bowhunting- it was actually my daughter, and her father-in law's, first time bowhunting. (Although they all have firearm experience/ kills in the past) Short story is that I was the only one who didn't get a...

Hello again everyone- Sorry for how long it's taken to say thanks for all the input and suggestions- archery deer season has opened here in the midwest and I have been a little too busy to respond. The Gunblast link was very helpful in clarifying what you all have been explaining to me- thanks...
