OT - NIB 1972 Ruger Blackhawk Three Screw
1972 Ruger Blackhawk NIB, with the information of late regarding 45 Colt Rugers and cylinder measurements, what would we expect would be the case here?

Old Savage,
There is a remote chance the chamber throats would be over sized. But ~ chances are much better they would be under sized. My 71 vintage had throats around .450" and no two were the same. A couple were even oval shaped.
Were I to pick up that gun, the first thing I'd do is slug the throats. The second is probably send the cylinder to the Cylinder Smith for reaming.
