Mechanics: The action functions correctly. The cylinder locks up with almost no play at each stop. We did not fire this handgun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.
Box, Paperwork, and Accessories: This revolver includes a black and yellow Ruger factory cardboard box, one 20-round box of 158 grain semi-jacketed hollow point .357 Remington Maximum ammunition, and the manual. The box shows moderate wear from age and handling with worn edges, creases on the top, visible ribbing throughout, and overall rates in Very Good condition. The ammo box shows moderate wear and the ammo itself appears in good shape.
Our Assessment: This New Model Blackhawk is chambered for .357 Remington Maximum, which was created as a joint venture between Remington and Ruger. The ammunition is no longer widely produced, and firearms that utilized it have largely been discontinued—that this Blackhawk will ship with 20 rounds is a real boon to the person who places the winning bid. This example is in Excellent condition with minimal wear, a bright bore, tight lock-up, and ships with its original factory box. Don’t miss the chance to win this awesome revolver! Good luck and happy bidding.
