CAUTION: A gun containing modified, broken, malfunctioning,
or badly worn parts should not be fired.
WHEN ORDERING PARTS BE SURE TO STATE WHETHER YOUR
REVOLVER IS BLUED OR STAINLESS. ALSO, INCLUDE THE
COMPLETE SERIAL NUMBER AND SPECIFY THE CALIBER AND
BARREL LENGTH.
GRIP FRAME NOTE: The New Model Super Blackhawk steel Grip Frame
(Stainless steel or blued) will fit any New Model Single Six or New Model
Blackhawk revolver. However, because the Grip Frame must be “match-polished”
to fit each cylinder frame, it is furnished (as a component part) only ‘in the
white,’ that is, not polished or blued. The Grip Frame can be factory fitted and
the cost would include the price of the appropriate grip frame, fitting charge, a
refinishing charge, and a shipping and handling charge. If the revolver to which
the grip frame is being fitted is a Super Blackhawk, then there is an additional
charge for a pair of Blackhawk grip panels.
Please contact the Product Service
Department for pricing information.
EJECTOR HOUSING & SCREW NOTE: Early New Model Blackhawk revolvers in
calibers .41 magnum, .45 Colt and Super Blackhawks that have the protruding
Ejector Housing Screw Insert should order part number MR-22-44 Ejector
Housing; MR-33-44 Ejector Housing Screw. Current production ejector housing
screws are threaded directly into the barrel.
CYLINDER NOTE: Cylinders are only available for installation in the model in
which they were manufactured and fitted.
BARREL NOTE: All barrels are marked with a safety message, (“Before using
gun, read warnings in Instruction Manual available free from Sturm, Ruger &
Co., Inc., Southport, CT 06890, USA”).
SHIPPING REVOLVERS FOR
INSTALLATION OF A SAFETY CONVERSION KIT:
If you would like to have any “old model” (pre-1973) Bearcat, Single-Six,
Blackhawk, or Super Blackhawk revolver factory fitted with a free Conversion Kit
(to help prevent accidents caused by a blow to the hammer if the user has failed
to keep an empty
chamber under the hammer) please write to Ruger, Conversion
Dept., 411 Sunapee Street, Newport, NH 03773 for a box and shipping
instructions. Be sure to include information as to model, caliber, and serial
number. Please do not send your old model single action revolver until you
receive shipping instructions and a box from us. Please note that the Kit will be
fitted at our Newport, New Hampshire facility. All other servicing of “old model”
single actions will also be performed at our Newport facility, but only after a
Conversion Kit is first installed.
This safety conversion does not apply if the revolver is marked “Vaquero,” “New
Vaquero,” “Bisley,” or “New Bearcat” on the frame.
