Since I've had 2 454 SBH Bisleys sitting in the safe since late last year, I figure it's time to start tinkering on them. I'm no fan of the Bisley, but it was the only way they came and I planned to convert them to SBH Dragoon frames and hammers along with 4 5/8" barrels and alloy ejector rod housings.
I know that Ruger standardized the "height" of the rear of the frame some time back, so the Bisley shouldn't be any taller than the latest Super Blackhawk frames which will save some headache. The question is have they done away with the locator tabs on the Super frames like they did on the Bisley and steel XR3 frames? Does anyone have a really recent, 2015 or newer, Stainless Super Blackhawk to look at the grip frame and frame to check for the tabs and relief cuts in the cylinder frame?
I'd hate to offer up all these Bisley parts for a trade and find out that I had to cut the tabs just to check the fit of the Super parts.
So does anyone have a real recent Super that they have had apart?
