But a nice rub down and a few drops of oil here and there beats sitting here looking out the window. :)

I can field strip 'em but still trying to work up the nerve to tear one of my Blackhawks completely down. :)

The old model Blackhawks are a piece of cake. The newer ones can be a bit tricky, but still not too bad. Hardest part is putting the grip frame back on while getting everything lined up. May I suggest buying the AGI DVD on the Ruger Single Action. Shows step by step how to take them all apart.
 
I've never had more than one gun apart at one time either. Not that I'm afraid of mixing up parts--I'm just not a multi-tasker! Thought never even occurred to me.

As far as taking apart a Blackhawk, gunman42782 is correct--the old models are slightly easier, but I've had a New Model completely torn down before (replaced the hammer and grip frame) and put it all back together again. Wasn't too bad. Just make sure you have a nice set of hollow ground screwdrivers.

Nice guns! Thanks for sharing the picture!
