Wanted to show off my recent find. A classic Ruger Blackhawk "3 screw" in .357 mag. It was made in 1967.

Before I go further, I must say that unfortunately it already has had the factory conversion with the transfer bar added so, it does not have quite the collector value that I would hope for, but I got it at a gun show for a great price and it is mechanically very sound. Very good shooter.

Some scratches from use but that is to be expected for a 56 year old revolver.

That's a good one. I've had a NM 45/45acp since 84 and recently got my hands on a 3 screw 4 5/8 45colt.

Thanks.
I just successfully converted this back to the original "3 screw" status. There is another thread on here about that conversion that you might find of interest:

Taking 3 screw Blackhawk back to original status

Thanks to advice on this forum (and especially to Ruger Guy) I have the original parts needed to convert my 1967 Ruger Blackhawk "3 screw" back to it's original state. Only challenge is I my lack of confidence to do the job myself. I tried a search on YouTube for a video of this process but...
