I found a 3screw 357 BH today at a local shop and it is confusing me. It is not converted but doesn't have the loading notch. If you hold the hammer back to where the notch should be the cylinder will free spin, but the notch is missing. Is something messed up, or was it converted at one point and someone didn't swap all of the parts back over? The gun was in good shape except for missing some paint on the ejector rod housing.
Also what would be a fair price on it? |

Wonder if somebody swapped a new model hammer into it? Perhaps in order to change the high hammer into a wide spur hammer?
People get kinda crazy these days over 3-screws. I would estimate somewhere in the $500 range depending on condition, but an avid Ruger collector will be probably be along soon to correct me. |
| I'm going to see if I can pick it up somewhere south of $300. Worst case scenario is having ruger convert it and end up with a $300 gun. Best case I get it fixed and have a sweet little revolver. Went and talked to them today but it was someone else that I haven't dealt with, when I told him what was wrong with it he decided they shouldn't sell it. the other guy I was talking to was a manager and was willing to deal with me, so I'll go in on Thursday and see what he says. |
