Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Sold--THANKS Good Afternoon Folks: End of an era here. I've been shooting cap guns for over 40 years now. But, the arthritis in my hands has gotten so bad, that I've moved to shooting 38s. While I'm still shooting duelist and black powder, my fingers don't work well enough to shoot cap guns any more. So…………. I have for sale another pair of Ruger Old Army Revolvers -- These are 3-1/2 inch Snubbies Description & pictures: (more pictures available on request -- Please send me your e-mail address) --Two Blued "Antiqued" 3-1/2-inch Ruger Old Army revolvers. I have owned and used these for several years, and they have always been very good for me. These were purchased from the widow of a shooter from Florida. They started life as 5-1/2 inch ROAs. He "antiqued" them to make them look like old & well-used guns. I had some 5-1/2 inchers, but I love "snubbies", so I sent them to Johnny Meadows, & he cut the barrels to 3-1/2 inches, crowned them, and installed new front sights. The bores and cylinder charge holes are in good condition The original Ruger nipples have been replaced by Treso nipples (Slix/Rugers are good, but Tresos are better IMHO) The cylinder pins are from Belt Mountain--standard BM pins captured by a screw on the frame. The grip frames are Ruger aluminum alloy (I think they are old Blackhawk frames). One is a shiny plated gripframe, and the other is the Ruger Blue/Black. These were done for lightness of the gun. Between cutting the barrel, replacing the cylinder pin with a BM pin, and replacing the heavy steel gripframe, the overall weight of the gun was reduced significantly. These are pleasant to shoot. The grips are Eagle #31 Imitation Ivory grips. $1000 each for the guns I can mail to you where legal for $30 Shipping will be USPS Priority Mail, fully insured. Be sure you know your state's gun laws Certified Bank Check for $2030 please PM with questions, & send email address if you want more pictures (& what you want to see better) Thanks for looking --Dawg Edited March 17 by Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
