Old one...got lucky

[Capt Gary]

Have been watching for several years.
Finally found an old 3 screw Blackhawk (.357, 61/2") in mint condition.
It was built in 1968, one owner, fired 20 rounds. Still had the remainder of the orginal box of ammo.
No box or papers, but at the price I got it I didn't mind.

Got a great deal and love it.

Will shoot a whitetail with it this fall.

Will be watching for a 4 5/8", will find one at a good price eventually.

I'm in the middle of moving from FL to Charlotte, NC. Going up and close on house on Sat. morning.
Back to FL next week for movers to come pack, then everything gets to Charlotte on the 29th.

As soon as I get everything back to normal I'll make pics and post to this thread.
It's cherry.
I have some Roy Fishpaw grips that he made for another Ruger of mine many years ago. He said he would refit them to this frame if they don't fit perfectly.

Going to make this one a shooter and hang on to it.

M'Bogo isn't the only green one right now. There's one on the west coast too. Good going, Capt. If it couldn't be me, glad it was somebody...
