Nobody knows how many were built. Many were built,, then scrapped due to flaws in the castings.
They usually cost about $350 or so,, give or take.

Ruger made the MR-3DB Dragoon Super Blackhawk size with the square back trigger guard.
Some in very limited numbers ended up on the Blackhawk, in various calibers, more ended up on Super Blackhawks, and most were shipped on Old Army's.
One could buy a Frame & Trigger as a kit to use on your "whatever."
Ruger had fitting problems with the brass blending into the steel and showing up in the bluing.
Also had huge porosity problems in the casting process, no one knows but it has been rumored that more ended up in the scrap, than on guns,,, again nobody alive really knows.
Finding a Ruger Brass Grip frame without some porosity is rare, seems they all have an "acceptable amount".
Average $350 +/- $50, with the Super wide grooved trigger +$50 +/-$15
Qualite/MK was the largest aftermarket manufacturer, and I don't think anybody other than Milt & Karen, and not so sure they would even know. Originally sold ~$100, Now bring $250 +/- $50

Are you looking to purchase one? I may have one or two stashed away, but not easy to get to (stashed away well (LOL).
If you are serious about purchasing one or two, I could go dig them out and take photos. I may even have some of the grooved triggers mentioned as well.
Let me know.
Thanks!
I'm considering it, and would be interested in considering what you have to offer.

I'll do some digging this week and see if I can unearth a few. Will have to learn how to post photos.
