Somethings missing on this Ruger Super Blackhawk. Sorry for the lousy pictures, but can you tell what it is?

The barrel has a rib on it. Probably a S&W barrel.

I'm wondering if there is a notch in the rear sight.

Wait, is that a SBHH with the scope mount ground off? That would definitely be unusual.

BINGO!

It's not a "three-screw" old model, nor a "two-screw" new model - it's a "no screw" developmental model! I snapped the picture while in the National Firearms Museum at the NRA Headquarters in Washington, DC this week. Thus the lack of my trademark slippers! :wink: I also had to take the pictures at an angle due to the glass (can't turn off the flash on my camera). I thought it was mighty interesting, and knew we have several Ruger single-action fans here!

More pictures to come - these ones of leverguns!!! :D

That part of the pistol is just a black blob. I can't see any details.

No screws, no pins ..... ugh.

Somebody, back in the dim & distant past, actually manufactured a 'no-screw/no-pin' SA revolver. IIRC, very few units were made or sold...

Anyone remember...?

I guess Ruger had to prove that they could match the Mikkenger Grizzly.

I remember seeing one made with Colt SAA parts but the frame was new. The way it was done and probably how this Ruger is done is there were corresponding slots cut on the inside both sides of the frame for the various pins to fit down into with the trigger ,bolt and hammer on those pins. Then the grip frames held them in place. It's a nice custom feature sort of like invisible electric door locks on a custom car. Rather pointless for a production model though.
