What’s Included
- Ruger Blackhawk Old Model Three-Screw .357 Magnum revolver (6.5-inch barrel)
The Old Model Three-Screw action predates Ruger’s 1973 transfer-bar conversion, preserving the traditional single-action operation that many enthusiasts prefer for its crisp trigger and simple mechanics.
Serial number 107152 places production squarely in 1967, aligning with the era’s sought-after pre-warning barrels that carry no instruction text on the left side.
The catalog designation BKH-36 denotes the .357 Magnum chambering, six-shot capacity, and 6.5-inch barrel length, a balanced setup for both field use and target work.
An aluminum alloy XR3-RED grip frame reduces weight while maintaining the revolver’s classic profile. Smooth walnut panels with silver Ruger medallions complete the period-correct look.
Fully adjustable iron sights—ramp front and square-notch rear—allow precise zeroing, and the polished blued carbon-steel construction underscores Ruger’s durable build quality.
