New to me, a 50+ year old Blackhawk

[Mannlicher]

Recently won an auction for this three screw 1970 Ruger Blackhawk. .357 Magnum. Finish on the frame is about gone and the finish on the rest of the revolver is much less than perfect. However, at the range, with factory 125 grain JSP it delivered 1 1/4 inch groups. About the same with my extra zippy 160 grain powder coated LSWC bullets. I think I'll just leave it looking as it is.

Very nice. I have one made in '71'. It's bluing is better than yours showing some holster wear on the end of the barrel and front of the cylinder but it's walnut grips were pretty bunged up. My spare grips box just happened to have a set in much better shape to replace them. These old 3 screw guns work as smooth as butter.

Gorgeous.

My most accurate centerfire handgun. It's from 1970 or so. The three-screw trigger is amazing.
