Ruger Blackhawk 3 Screw Conversion

[gesasky]

I have been doing some research as I am interested in purchasing a 3 screw Blackhawk and I have found one but it had been sent in for the conversion at some point. Is there a way to remove the transfer bar safety and restore it to the original action? And how much does this effect the value?

Yes they can be converted back. It is strictly parts replacement, no modifications to the gun itself. Best if you get the parts with the gun, but if not they can be purchased. Ruger returns the old parts with the gun when they send it back updated. As long as you have the parts it is a minimal effect on value. If you don't have the parts it will lower the value to a collector somewhat, but to someone who just wants to shoot it it may not.

If you are a Collector, I'd pass if it doesn't have the original parts, but if you are a Shooter, then the transfer bar actually makes it safer to shoot. Good Luck.

If the original parts do not come with it, where can I purchase them? Ebay? Guntrader?

If the original parts don't come with it, you can find them at some of the Parts places, but they MAY require a lot of fitting. That could increase the price a fair amount, even if you can fit them yourself. Used parts can be something of a crap shoot.

No, it makes it safe to have a round under the firing pin.

And that is what I was talking about. But I know you just had to get your little jab in.

That hurts.

I gotta admit I laughed out loud here, but let's tread lightly gentlemen.
