    Unsure what I got here... help is appreciated

    Plenty of stainless alloys are magnetic. My Redhawk and the stainless barrels of 2 different 10-22s will attract a magnet. captainkirk

    Unique 45 colt Redhawk

    Yes, having given it some more thought, I agree. I don't know what I was thinking when I said that about the 5.5... captainkirk

    Unique 45 colt Redhawk

    Just looking at your gun, I'd say they shortened an existing 5.5 inch barrel and re-marked it. That is the only way I can reconcile the front sight issue. Extremely odd to have a barrel separation this late in the game. I hope they found the cause. Original cause was dealt with in the 80s...

    Ruger re-did my old MKI pistol

    Gun looks great! That model should have come with adjustable sights though. If it had fixed sights at one time, someone switched them out...

    ruger blackhawk in 5.56 armalite ctg.

    I think that may be one of the problems. Where your gun has the "Southport" rollmark is where the serial # would have been on a Blackhawk. I don't see how that could be original. I would be very curious to see the article, but have had no luck finding it either. Unless someone has digitized...

    ruger blackhawk in 5.56 armalite ctg.

    Wow, that looks like a lot of work. It is probably the one ruger revolver louder than the 30 carbine though! captainkirk

    #1 on the way

    My pleasure, and I am sure it went to a good home. Trauma1 is also great to deal with. captainkirk

    Early SBH

    Be careful with those "reloads". He might want to break them down and re-use some of the components... Sounds like a nice super though. Photos would help. captainkirk

    Why did Ruger discontinue making the .44Mag carbine semiauto

    Have to agree with you on the carbines. A lever action will let you "top up" your mag without having to pull it from the gun. You can also shoot specials and lighter loaded mags. Not to mention the plethora of cast bullets that the "levers" can handle that a gas-gun would eventually choke on...

    Birdshead Vaquero 45 with 3.75 Inch Barrel

    On the bottom of the barrel, where it should be if they choose to put it there at all... captainkirk

    Idea for a 45-70 Govt Bush Carbine

    Likely a conversion from a 338. I read an article on them a long time ago. Someone has also converted M1 garands to 458, no small task... captainkirk
