Please assist with estinated value of a Ruger Redhawk in 44 Mag, 7.5 Inch barrel.

[Luker]

Some had barrel issues. Remember one many years ago where the barrel had to be set back and thread recut.

RH or SRH ?

RH or SRH ?

RH IIRC. I think it had something to do with the barrel installation process, where some of them were overtorqued, this resulted in some frames cracking.

The ones I heard about were definitely RH. Another theory was that there was something about the locking compound they used which contributed to the problem which my addled memory wants to be about barrels that cracked/snapped at the threads and would then have to be cut down rethreaded and have the forcing cones recut or replaced entirely.

Blackhawk and not the Redhawk had those problems.

Aha. I mistrust my memory with good reason.

There may have been a Redhawk that had its barrel adjusted or worked on but these were not an issue as such with the model or batch.

Good day.Please assist with a secondhand-value. It is on behalf of a friend. Condition is good, very good.

My next buy will be a 44 mag, but not new. There is such a huge gap between new and used revolver prices that it just doesn't make sense to me to buy new.

Same here. There are the most fantastically well made safe queens about that I can't imagine why I'd end up 'needing' a new revolver especially a big bore one. An awful lot of them were bought in a rush of enthusiasm, found to be a handful and then parked for a couple of decades.
