BTT. Open to trades. But please, if you are not willing to ship and you see that I'm not in your state of residence, it only makes sense not to contact me with trade offers. Will trade for a Trijicon ACOG or a partial trade of a EoTech or Aimpoint. Let me know what you have.

For sale or trade is a completely stock, Ruger Blackhawk in .30 Carbine. This came from the collection of a gunshop owner and was unfired, NIB (box included) until I bought it. It has seen 18 rounds of factory ammo. SN is 51-000xx. It is in such nice shape that it could pass as NIB by a less...

BTT. Trade fell through. Always looking for interesting trades. I like new toys!

I knew you wouldn't be disappointed! Enjoy. And yes, this Yankee can shoot, too!

Both custom Blackhawks gone........ .30 Carbine Blackhawk still available.

Saddle stitch. You use two needles and do through every hole from both sides. I use a 3 prong tool that punches the slots for the stitches. Saddle stitching is far more durable than lock stitching, like you do with machines or when using a stitching awl. I started out by making a pattern out...

Here's my latest. It's a crossdraw that I made it for my 1860 RM Conversion. And one next to the El Paso Saddlery holster I loosely copied. The El Paso holster is not a crossdraw. I would have preferred brown leather, but I used what I had on hand at the time.

Check out my update on Page 2. It turned out not to be an Old Model. It's a New Model. Still NIB and unfired, but it does have a slight turn line on it. So, it's no collector's piece, just a good .30 Carbine Blackhawk shooter, which is what I was in the market for in the first place. I do...

OK, this thread is pretty much all for nothing. It's not an Old Model like he originally said it was and there is a slight turn line on it. Still unfired, but not NIB, either. It's a 2 digit serial number, but a New Model 2 digit SN. looks like I have a good shooter after all, which is what...

He owes me a favor, so I'm not paying collector price for it at all.

I'll post some pics tomorrow when I pick it up. Yeah, I have a few setups like that. My QH Carbine has all the old features and is in a repro Paratrooper stock. My Inland has an adjustable rear sight, bayonet lug and is in an older, non-potbelly stock. About 20 years ago I picked up a lot of...

The good thing is that the .30 Carbine Blackhawk is MA "Compliant", so we can buy new ones here. It's not a rare, hard to find handgun like some are here. Also, I live in the "free" part of MA (Western MA), where gunshop owners don't price gouge you every time you do a transfer. The guys out...

I'm buying a NIB, 2 digit SN Ruger Blackhawk in .30 Carbine tomorrow. It even has the original shipping box that it was sent it. Not even a turn mark on the cylinder. Factory oil all over it still, too. I'm not a collector at all. I'm a fan of the .30 Carbine in my USGI M1 Carbines and have...

I picked a carbon steel verson up two weeks ago NIB for $275. For that kind of money, being a huge .44 Special fan, I couldn't pass it up. Yes, the trigger feels like there's gravel in it, but I can still hit very well with it. I'm going to send it to Karl Sokol at...
