38-40/10mm frame

What frame is the Buckeye 38-40/10mm built on? Blackhawk? Super Blackhawk? ??? Thanks.

Full size Blackhawk.........

Blackhawk? Super Blackhawk?

Same same.

Blackhawk? Super Blackhawk?

Same same.

NOT always!

If it's a new model 'flat top' Blackhawk and not 41 or 44 Mag, it's a mid frame size.

The buckeye was built several years ahead of the New Model Flat Tops.

Thank you all. I have decided to start the search for one of these. Hope I live long enough and don't lose my job again. Darned buyouts. By the way, I'm new here and I've enjoyed lurking and reading for a while.

As you could see from the picture 38-40 / 10 MM was built on full size NMBH frame (same as NMSBH):

Yep, the Buckeyes are on the "large" frame.

Ruger needs to do another run of these on the medium flat-top frame.

I would prefer the smaller frame in .32 Mag/32-20.

If it isn't too long....

One of our members gave us an interesting dimensional comparison a little while back. In a nut shell the SAAMI .38-40 maximum rim diameter is too large for the mid-frame. As they are actually manufactured most .38-40 and .44-40 cases would fit, but Ruger builds guns accept cartridges that meet SAAMI dimensions.

A mid-frame 10 mm with an extra .40 S&W cylinder would be a way for those of us who own autos in both calibers to plink away reloads that won't feed in our autos. We all make an occasional unfortunate batch and that would be more fun than pulling bullets.

I have two OMBH's converted by Bowen to 38 WCF, one with a Bisley grip frame. Both nice lookers and nice shooters!

I am also in the market for a 38-40/10mm Buckeye. If Ruger through one of their current distributors would come out with a 10mm/40S&W convertible I would be warm and fuzzy with that also.
