AFAIK, they only had 7.5" barrels. Is this correct?
Imagine a .30 cal Buntline Special with a 12" barrel.

Off topic, but from one who has paid the big $$$ for hearing aids, GO TO COSTCO.... get the latest Kirkland K-10 devices for under $1,400 BOTH sides. TRUST ME.... they work better than the expensive ones I've had in the past.... They even do the exams for free and semi-annual free check-ups (oh, yeah, 3 yr warranty).. and they change the 'wax filters' for free.... There's more, but you get the idea....Bought the first one I saw in 1968 or 69. It was also my first Blackhawk. If my memory is correct the sn was 3099. Bought it on a Sunday and took it to a dirt road with steep banks and no houses nearby. Fired several rounds without hearing protection. Loudest gun I ever fired. Probably why I have about $6500 of electronics in my ears today.
Wish I had the gun and my hearing back. There is no substitute for young and stupid!!
I was just going to say the same thing! Costco! Same set will cost $6500 down the road.

The Lee .30 cal. "soup can" and 2400 work pretty well in mine. With or without gas checks.Trailduster, I like the fact yours shows some "miles and smiles" on it. So many of these .30's get shot a little then put away.
Their more fun than that.
My cylinder got some attention from Fermin and I just finished my last round of firelapping.
So it's ready to start some serious load development with cast bullets.
