Need a pair of 50th Anniversary .357 Flattops

[Dale53]

I have a friend (serious buyer) who is looking for a pair of 50th Anniversary .357 Magnums. Does anyone have any idea where a feller might find them?

He has called CDNN (they have no more).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the instant response. Who wudda thunk it?

I have passed the contact information to my friend. Hopefully, it results in beneficial results for both.

Dave;
Good to hear from you. I am ready and willing to shoot as soon as the weather breaks. My new SS .44 Special Flattop is raring to go! The grill will be ready, too! :P

Failing all of the above, put a WTB in the classifieds - which you may have already done, so just sayin'.
Ironically, unless Ruger/Lipseys makes another "special" run or Ruger catalogs a .357, folks may ultimately convert .44 Specials using NV .357 cylinders!

I had to laugh at your comments. You are absolutely on point! We are NEVER happy. Well, most of us aren't.

Me, I'm sitting here with a Cheshire cat's grin on my face looking at my two .44 Special Rugers (an original 5 ½" .44 Lipsey Special and the newly acquired SS .44 Special 4 5/8" Flattop). Seventh Heaven, indeed!!

+1 Dale - same with my two NV .44s - 3-3/4" SS Sheriff and blued 4-5/8". Fabulous firearms.

Dale,
Not sure if your friend has found what he is looking for yet or not. If he is still interested, I have two that were purchased a few years back and still in the box. Not consecutive numbers (027xx and 021xx).
Drop me an email if I can answer any questions.
Thanks,
Russ

He is talking with someone but I forwarded your information just in case he didn't buy.

The response here has been great.

I'll post on the forum when I learn more.

I would like to thank all who responded to this serious request. My friend has chosen his seller, and sent his money and FFL along.

I am sure you folks helped both to reach a conclusion helpful to both seller and buyer.

Thanks again for your quick and helpful response!
