30 carbine black hawk

[randyrat]

I found a Ruger black hawk in a 30 carbine anybody interested. I think it was going for about $400...Good price or not? I have the phone #
Looks like new never been shot, very nice shape..The wood looks like it has been handled a little, but the bluing is perfect.

[Johnch]

Not sure about the price

But if you do buy it
If you shoot factory ammo
Use both ear plugs and muffs

Loud do not even come close

That is a good price for one Randy. They are a blast to shoot, but they are loud have very little recoil and are also fairly accurate. Used mine for plinking mostly but I have shot a few hogs with it too.

[randyrat]

I may be able to get it down to $375 ...What are they going for...It's only the second one I have ever seen.

Loud does not describe it. And I haven't been able to find a load yet that recoils.
I like mine pretty well.

[Flash]

Yeah, they're around. There's always one or two on gunbroker. Used guns have really gone up in the past few years so yes, $400 is a decent price. Next year, $400 will be a steal.

I bought one new about 6 years ago for $350. So $400 seems pretty reasonable, especially if its in good shape. If you want the wood to be perfect you could always get replacement grips from Ruger. They're a lot of fun to load for. I also have been using 32-20 cases that are slightly modified. Accuracy is good, recoil is not bad, but the muzzle blast is spectacular. When using GI carbine brass its a handy sidearm companion to my regular M-1 Carb.

My neck of the woods $399 Sounds better than $400 Price is what it is going for at dealers Nice gun!

[TCLouis]

Why not start with 350 cash on the table as a starting point?

I think it's the frequency of the noise - as the bore gets smaller the Freq. goes up the 45's for 44's boom, 357's blast, the 30 carbine is like sonic drill - plugs and muff's required.

dealer cost is 365 I got one off gun broker, older but in good shape last fall 300
The 311359 is a very good boolit and not bad on recoil or ears. Mil ammo as said plugs and muffs
I will use the rifle to get rid off the mil stuff from now on

[Thumbcocker]

.32-20 data can tame the beast.

I just picked up on off Gunbroker for $350, including a mounted older Bushnell scope.

There are deals out there if you are patient.

You may have nailed the reason these critters are so loud. My 32 Magnum and 7.62 x 25 are similar in nature--louder than Purgatory's house band.

Well, for all of us .30 Carbine Blackhawk owners, it looks like someone has a new mold design out that would be the bee's knees:

I better go home and strip copper wire so I have some spending cash.

I enjoy my 30 carbine. The carbide dies make 30 carbine relatively easy to load. And I can just drop a 32-20 round in the cylinder and it shoots every bit as accurately as the 30 carbine. I have not used the carbide 30 carbine dies to reload a 32-30 case shot from the Blackhawk, but the idea has a lot of potential. And besides you should be able to purchase it... after all I bought 3 pounds of beeswax from you last year

I have owned a BH in 30Carbine for 35yrs. PLEASE if you buy it heed the advise on hearing protection. One round w/out good protection and you will have a permanent case of tinitus.

[S.R.Custom]

I've always wanted to convert one to .30 Reece. I wonder if that would be any louder?

[4719dave]

So i guess im not going to make any friends on the line with this gun ??
