INFO ON SUPER BLACKHAWK PLEASE

[KEYBEAR]

I have a Stainless Super Blackhawk 44 Mag 7 1/2 inch barrel .
I bought this new back in the 80,s I think . It has a Lug in the barrel for the ejector housing . Se.# 84-96729

I am selling some of my guns and need to know the value of this gun .

Hunter model? If so around $500.00 My opinion.

 

[KEYBEAR]

I bought this only because it has the lug in the barrel and I have owned it around 20 plus years

What "lug"??
Looks nice but grips are not factory.
I suggest checking gunbroker to see what these are selling for. NOT listed for but actually selling for.

Lug? Is the lug for the ejector rod housing?

Lug? Is the lug for the ejector rod housing?

Yes the Lug is for the Ejector Housing . It is the only reason I bought it . Over the years I have shot the housing off the barrel many times .

I'm not sure a lug is failsafe either! My cousin had a lug on a stainless super fly off with the ejector housing when he was shooting. I know guys have sheared off ejector screws tapped directly into the barrel as well. I know some people prefer the aluminum ejector housing to help prevent this--the lighter weight translates into less momentum during 44mag recoil hence less strain on the stud or screw.

I prefer the steel housing and just keep an eye on that ejector screw to make sure it is tight.

I am still lost to the "lug" reference. You have to have that on the barrel to eject your spent rounds. In my opinion a "lug" would be like on a GP-100. where the bottom of the barrel has extra meat there by design.

This looks like a plain old stainless Blackhawk to me.

The "lug" in question is the front attachment point for the ejector rod housing. It is welded (?) to the barrel and the ERH fits snugly over it, with the related screw merely securing the ERH to the lug and not having to deal with the recoil forces. This is used on the heavier-recoiling models, but I'm not certain of exactly which ones.

 

[Hondo44]

The 'lug' is actually a threaded stud. With or without the stud, the issue is not always a loose screw. If the screw is just a bit too long for the threaded hole or the threaded stud, the screw will be tight in the hole, but the housing will not be clamped solid to the barrel. So as Ale said, the recoil forces and momentum of the housing will still break the stud loose from the barrel or shear the screw. The screw needs slight shortening.

I did this on my 50th Anniversary .44Mag BH. Doesn't look quite as nice, but it sure solved the problem!

Don't thing the stud makes it any more attractive to buyers, unless collectors are interested (if this was a factory mod). I personally was unaware of it, if this is a factory thing. I'd price it at the going rate of used .44Mag SS BHs.

I thnk the early Super Blackhawks had barrel lugs, or studs. They weren't much help, and often shot away after awhile. Sometimes they sheared off, other times they pulled out leaving a very elongated hole.

I believe Dave Clements puts a lug on the barrel mid way that is sort of rectangular, no threaded hole for a screw, just sort of a recoil lug.

I have used some adhesive to assist in holding the ejector housings in place with good results.

This whole thing is still confusing to me. I am new to cowboy guns. Anyone want to post pictures of this whole thing taken apart. Maybe start a new tread as to not highjack this one more.
