Whats an old model Blackhawk worth?

Great score.

I was all set to be helpful; then I realized you were talking about Rugers. Otherwise, I'd expect an old UH-60 "A" model (T700 engines) with a full avionics suite to be somewhere about $6M.

Don't send in to Ruger for any work without researching first... They will convert it to new model without getting your permission.

They do a nice job on reblueing & freshen up older Blackhawk, but some have been surprised with changes to valuable models.

Found my son a beater in .41mag. Its a blast to shoot and very accurate! It will go back to Ruger for bluing at some point. But for now its just to fun too shoot!

Yea I heard that plenty of folks prefer them unconverted.

The bluing is just fine, only has a couple marks on it.

I almost got to fire a .41 mag S&W. I was told it was a .44 mag but when I tried to drop rounds in it....what the?! So when I looked a little closer I saw the .41 mag on the side and really wished I had ammo for it!

About the old three screw Blackhawk I have..I've been trying to flip it but there is almost no interest at $500. It's one of those things where you tell people about it and they say, "wow, that's worth $800 easy, maybe a $1000!" Then I say, great, would give me $500 for it? "Uhh....no, I don't really need a .44 right now.."

I didn't pay $350 for it, either, I traded for it and another gun.

It handles okay but really could use more handle.

I have one of these in .41 mag and I love it. I only paid $300 for it though. I think if you are trying to get $500 for that, you are going to have quite a wait. Yes, people want them, and they are worth more, but it's not like they are selling like hotcakes. You have to find the right buyer for something like that.

Good Luck!

Good advice!

You have a pretty nice 44 Blackhawk (Not Super) in the standard 6.5 barrel length. I would not send it back to Ruger---just remember 5 rds only with hammer down on EMPTY chamber! The revolver is probably worth twice+ what you paid for it. I shoot mostly 44 Specials in mine---when I need something more potent, I pull out my FA 454 Casull.
