Ruger Blackhawk 10mm Bisley complete

That brings it in line with the special edition (mentioned elsewhere in this discussion). Probably yours is a better version with better alignment, action, and the free spin upgrade.

I wasn't aware of issues with the Spl Editions. Mine has no issues and a one of a kind custom conversion, reamed 357 cylinder and custom barrel by a gunsmith before I got it. And I did the rest, the easy part.

No, these special editions were pretty nice - high polish blue, all steel. I just meant that a custom bored cylinder is typically perfectly aligned, whereas factory tend less so.

Thread drift- a friend of mine bought a '77 Vette new. I am trying to buy that powerful 180 hp car off him now. I had a '75 L82 210 hp back in the day. I'd buy a 10mm lever IF they would offer it with wood furniture and blued steel. Then again- I have at least 8 different 10 mils. It isn't the end-all cartridge, but it suits me in full-capacity loads (not these in-the-shelf weakened loads on the shelves at stores) for what it is made for.

I too am waiting for the blued and wood 10mm lever gun from Ruger
