Three Foot Johnson Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Looking for a 9mm convertible cylinder for a 3-screw Blackhawk. Cosmetic condition unimportant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I didn't know they made such for the 3-screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Yep. A lot of folks think the convertible didn't come around until '73, with the introduction of the New Model Blackhawk. The last one I saw on an auction site for a 3-screw went for a whopping $210. A couple folks must have wanted it pretty bad, as I've never seen one go that high before. I've seen them with guns dating as early as 1958. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 What's the difference between the cylinder on a transfer bar Blackhawk and a 3 screw Blackhawk? I'm just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 I suppose saying, "They're not the same size" isn't sufficient, so I got a couple out of the safe to measure - 3-screw Overall length, ~1.850" Length of cylinder body w/o star & basepin boss, ~1.602" Diameter, ~1.674" New Model Overall length, ~1.966" Length of cylinder body w/o star & basepin boss, ~1.643" Diameter, ~1.725" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
