NEW MODEL BLACKHAWK SERIAL NUMBERS SERIAL NUMBER
According to my reference, the convertibles with 9 mm cylinder were introduced in 1967 in the 1037xx serial number range. 5 1/2' barrels were relegated to Single Sixes. Percentage wise, thats quite the difference. A factory produced Old Model (Three Screw) Blackhawk in any caliber with a 5 1/2' barrel would really be valuable since there is no record that Ruger ever produced one. Switching to the older Blackhawk, the exact same round produced 2.5 groups on average. Shooting from a rest at 25 yards, the new Blackhawk produced an average of 1.75 five round groups over four-shot strings.

Ive paid gunsmiths to have the text removed from previous barrels, but I wouldnt bother having that done on Rugers with the text underneath. Ruger now wisely places the text on the newer models on the bottom of the barrel. The new serial number was hand stamped on top of the receiver behind the rear sight. The old style includes even more wording than the new one, and puts it on the left side of the barrel. It has Harrington & Richardson Arms Co.1949-1954Remington New Model. The older model has a wide flat ring that butts up against the frame, whereas the new model deletes this feature. This new Blackhawk in.357 Magnum is probably the worst of the bunch, especially compared to the older Blackhawk, which very well may be the best of the bunch. When it comes to fit, however, the newer Blackhawk falls short of the older gun. It was on my hip for some javelina hunts and shows a little damage to the front sight, but overall its in great shape.īoth are wood, but the older revolver is a plain style and the new one includes the shiny laminate. I shot the old gun quite a bit, but didnt carry it around much. The finish is the same, although the new gun may be a tad shinier. Same frame dimensions, hammer, and sight style.
