Shortening Ruger Blackhawk Barrel

[darkh2odiver]

Looking for someone within one hour of New Orleans that can shorten a Ruger Blackhawk barrel. Thank you

I don't know anyone but I'm curious as to what length you're trying to shorten it too.

I don't know anyone local, maybe someone else does. This guy does awesome work with ruger revolvers.

Not close to Orleans, but you can ship direct to him and he return direct to you. He does outstanding work. I've had him work for me and will again.

Scroll down the samples page (link), and see a Blackhawk he shortened...

Sandman. I'm wanting to go from 7 1/2" to 5 1/2"

You could probably send it to ruger and have them change the barrel.

Might as well send it to someone who can tune it while their at it.

I thought about that but mine is a unconverted 3 screw and I want to keep the original trigger. I might just put it up for trade.

Call and tell them what you want nothing else, and see what they say.

Well I think I'm going to trade it. As soon as I figure out how to post Picts from my iPad I'll post it. Hopefully someone has a Blackhawk in 45 or 44 with the barrel length I what.

It is easy to.post pictures with the ipad. Download the photobucket app, download photos to app. Copy and paste the img code.
