RUGER FLATTOP VS BLACKHAWK FULL

One is in the grip frame just forward of the trigger slot. Remember where the long one goes.ДЈ) Separate the grip frame from the cylinder frame carefully. How to do this? It was supposed to be this simple and you might have seen these instructions elsewhere.Дў) Remove the five grip frame screws. I am one of those people who finds it hard to fix something that works.

RUGER FLATTOP VS BLACKHAWK INSTALL

I got two Super Blackhawk hammers but have yet to install either of them. A Montado hammer would be close to ideal, if there was a blued version.ДЄnother comparison of the various Ruger SA hammers. Whether the differences between the thick and thin transfer bars will really be a problem or not has yet to be seen. To fix this, you have to establish resting depth, then file the second step to alleviate the pinch. Then you get clicks from the pawl on the ratchet plus the reverse indexing pawl, 12 clicks per rotation. If you do a straight swap on a midframe, the hammer might not rest deep enough to fully retract the pawl. Then to further confuse things, on a midframe like the 44 special, Anv 357, New Vaquero, you have to look at how deep the hammer 'sits' at rest. In this case you need to file some off the second step until you alleviate the pinch. If it does, you have transfer bar pinch which will/could lead to a broken transfer bar.

If not, you may need to remove some metal from the top of the hammer to get a full strike from your pin.ДЄlso, on the thick transfer bar revolver, with the hammer lowered on the transfer bar and the firing pin extended, see if the hammer drops a fraction to fully come to rest when you release the trigger. On the thick transfer bar gun, ease the hammer down while holding the trigger and look at firing pin protrusion, see if your thin transfer bar revolver looks to have the same protrusion. This next photo, from Whopist on Cast Boolits, does show the relative heights of the three hammers shown. However, this photo lacks a direct comparison of the Super Blackhawk and Bisley hammers. This gives a good idea of the relative heights of the spurs and sizes of the parts. Below, courtesy of Matt Olivier, we have, left to right: Old Army, Super Blackhawk, large frame Blackhawk, 357 Blackhawk, Single Six, Super Single Six, and Bearcat. These are the Bisley and Super Blackhawk hammers. Two of these interest most people wanting to make a similar modification. To that end I've been reading what I can and looking at comparisons of the various hammers Ruger installs on their single action revolvers. However, I have been thinking that a lower hammer would be the ticket. I have a couple/three of the Ruger Flat-tops on the 50th Anniversary Flat-Top frame which is the size of the original Ruger Blackhawk but with the new lockwork.
