If I had my internet and all, I'd post a picture or two. I can't because I'm only able to post here using my phone.

Yes. After the pictures I saw of Lake Lure I am really glad to see that you are still with us.
I have the long barrel also, but I do have the ACP cylinder:
My only OM 45 with a few modifications,,,
Brass Bisley w/ LETT fancy walnut grips,
RW OM Super Spur/bisley hump/ Fat Smack Hammer. "Fat Smack" a little extra meat to hit the firing pin/primer a little harder.
Bisley OM/NM Trigger,,, a great way to get an Old Model Trigger using a New Model Grip Frame with a NM trigger return spring.
Micro rear sight.
Steel ERH.

A Holy Grail gun for many right there!
Ruger guy , that is sweet! Been looking one for years and ran across the 357 bgf but it wasn't what I was looking for so I passed.
oh no you cannot pass them up, IF they are fairly priced and do it then,,I did not hesitate and knew others who were looking and let them make me the offer, gone in a flash....some of these came from a "passed" member here on this forum, 'Cherokee', may Dave S., rest in peace he had some NICE stuff..........

Nice one Dan!
But it won't letter as a convertible AND a factory installed brass frame.

I knew that, main reason I sold it.........worth a lot still as a "sum of the total of the parts" "...and so it goes, Wil Terry" RIP

Which ever way it would letter would be fine. Then you could put it back to the "as shipped " condition and sold the extra parts.
Here's a sampling
When I search my computer for BKH44 or BKH45, most of the hits I get are of ones that I have sold. I need to start taking more pics of the keepers. The above guns are still here. I guess I never took pics of my BKH44B. It is also embarrassing that I couldn't find a pic of my dad's BKH45 which was the gun that, once inherited, sent me spiraling down into the Ruger collecting abyss.

Oh, I searched a different area on my PC and found some pics of the Stan Terhune #30 gun, which was a single cylinder gun that he sent back to have an ACP cylinder fitted. The lore goes that all the .45 Blackhawks were meant to be convertibles but there was a delay in making ACP cylinders, so the first shipments were single cylinder guns at a reduced cost. By the time the ACP cylinders were ready, Ruger recognized that the single cylinder guns were selling just fine, so he kept them as a lower priced option for folks who didn't care about the ACP.
Oh, here's another nifty pic, the #32 OM paired with the #32 NM
A little of everything, old, new, converted, and even bottom feeders
I am still looking for a long barrel! I had one at one time and it was accurate but I traded it for a S&W M57 .41 mag which I love but I still miss that Ruger.

Looking through my pictures it doesn't appear that I have ever taken a 45 colt "family" picture". And the 45 Colt is my favorite back country carry gun.
The top one has been my back country carry gun for a LOT of years. Bottom two is of my BBQ gun that seldom leaves the gun safe. Scott is so much better of a photographer, so I stole his picture from his Facebook page that shows the beautiful Turnbull case coloring.
