That didn't take long...'nuther flat-top...

:wink:
Well, sure 'nuf, I managed to stumble upon a second old .357 today. It's a bit cleaner than the one I bought a couple weeks back. Looks like it has a 6 3/8" barrel and it's ready for the range. I just "couldn't help myself"...it was calling to me! This looks like a 1960 year model gun.

So this afternoon, my buddies are coming over to shoot and I'll take my two Old-Model Ruger Blackhawk Flat-tops out to the range along with a few boxes of ammo so everyone can try them out! I may even take a 657 S&W that followed me home last week....you never know! It's too nice outside stay away from the range!!

Very nice, I especially like the loading gate and the grips.

Nice 6-1/2" flattop. Good looking grips also. Looks like that one was carried by a lefty. :wink:

 

[VonFatman]

Hey...I'm a lefty! This is good!

[dougader]

Very nice. I'm still looking...

I warned Bob about the Old Models. He admits he's hooked.


Nice lookin' gun! How's she shoot?

 

[VonFatman]

Shot great!! I am going to enjoy this one,

Nice gun...but I'm much more interested in your "new" 657. Is it a short-barrel? If so, you may have mistakenly gotten my gun. After all, I've been looking for a decent 657 for lo...these many months. Pix would be nice. Being somewhat disheartened, I've had to settle for a .44 Special instead so I'm not overly depressed.

Great find. Only thing better would be a 4 5/8.

If that's a 6-groove...its a rare gun!! Looks like pretty nice shape too!

Chet15,
How would I know how many "grooves" it has?? Where would I look? (I just subscribed to your magazine and have not received a copy yet).

Just count the lands and grooves in the rifling at the muzzle. Very nice revolver! I have one just like it!

 

[VonFatman]

Looks like more than 6 to me...counting those devils makes a guy dizzy!!
