I really like the 3 screw Blackhawks, unconverted of course.

Here's a good Ruger story. A couple years ago I called Ruger to see if they would rebarrel a 30 carbine 3 screw for me and reblue the gun. It was bought as a shooter and had a way oversize forceing cone. Ruger and I came to an agreed price for the work and I removed all the original internal parts and they send me a shipping box. I sent them the revolver.

About a month passes and I receive a letter from Ruger saying that they regret to inform me that my revolver had to be destroyed and they would make it right by offering me "a new ruger firearm of my choice". I called and they could not tell me exactly what happened, but my revolver was no more. I assume they ruined the frame trying to remove the old barrel.

Anyway I tell them that I would like a new SR556. They balk at the request trying to say the letter was a mistake and should have said "a new Blackhawk of my choice". Well I said it says a new firearm of my choice and I choose an SR556.

I got my new SR556 about two weeks later.
