Breakdown guide for Ruger Blackhawk .357

[painter777]

My Uncle just dropped off his old style 3 screw Ruger .357 single action Blackhawk.
Like most of his guns it's been neglected.
Would anyone have a breakdown guide I could copy to R and R this thing?

TIA,

To remove the base pin completely, you will need to remove the ejector housing.

Be sure to trap the mainspring with a paper clip through the strut hole. Remember which direction the front of the strut is in before re-assembly.

Remove the legs of the triggerspring from their support posts. You can remove the spring entirely if it makes re-assembly easier for you.

Pay attention to the bolt spring and plunger in the trigger guard when you remove the grip frame. Also the hand spring & plunger in the rear of the frame.

Other than that, it is pretty much straight foward.

HTH,
