I bought a used NM Blackhawk with a 5 1/2" barrel that was born in 1980. I tried to install a Super BH hammer in it but it was a no go.
I mentioned this before in another thread but I sent it to Ruger who practically rebuilt it installing the SBH hammer and also installed a new trigger, cylinder latch, all springs and plungers and installed a new upgraded rear sight. They also adjusted timing and end shake and safety checked it and even test fired it.
They returned it and get this, NO CHARGE! Customer service doesn't get any better than that!
Anyway, I finally had time to take it to the range the other day. I set up a large target at 25 yards. Aiming dead center only two rounds out of six even made it on paper. I tried another 12 rounds with the same result.
I finally moved the target closer to 15 yards and tried again. Same results. I tried using a rest and off hand. Made no difference.
I was using top flight ammo from Buffalo Bore and Double Tap.
My question is, what do you think I should try next? Set the target at 10-20 feet and see what happens? I'm not the best shot in the world but definitely not the worst and with a 5 1/2" barrel, I think at 15 yards, ALL shots should have at least been on paper.
Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
