Robb is right. the ERH on the good barrel only has the rounded part going about half way to the front. It's tapered.
The "bad" barrel has that round, raised area gextending all the way to the front of the ERH.
The "good" one looks like the ERH eas squished down for a technical term.
Like da' King said...if it is a pinned barrel it's good.

magman.... believe zeus and bush point to a straight S&W barrel. To fit a single action ejector rod housing to S&W taper invites labor-intensive horror and would look like hell. In general, to avoid binding, scraping, or misalignment, the single action ejector rod must stroke parallel to bore.
Colt used a tapered ejector rod housing to offset slight taper of Peacemaker barrel. Ruger ERH is straight. Both types are radiuses for straight or straight-taper barrel.

David Bradshaw The barrel types I'm posting about are both straight. Wide vs narrow rib. Maybe I'll take some pictures and post them later... You are right though, a tapered barrel would be a mess. Didn't "we" have a thread about that recently? |

There was a topic about the challenges of just such a set up. Imagine trying to fit a single action ERH to a contoured model 28/27 barrel!š¬

One of these days I will show a picture of a single action with an ERH that is every bit as challenging as fitting one to the contoured model 27 barrel.

I have at least one tapered octagon gun in the safe but the one Iām teasing is of a totally different nature.

I asked Jim Stroh to build a 10" SBH with a tapered round barrel because I didn't want the weight of a full bull. The barrel tapers from approx .800" to .700", and the ejector housing doesn't appear to be altered to accommodate the taper. It ejects as smooth as any other Ruger I have.

It ejects as smooth as any other Ruger I have. ****** I recall a taper on a Freedom Arms M83 .44 Mag of about .011ā----frame to end of ejector housing. While the 10-inch, 1:16 has plenty of bull on it, the Shilen barrel and M83 housing match perfectly. The Ruger Blackhawk Maximum 10-1/2ā barrel runs straight, with the Maximum ejector matching. Should the ejector be long, and the bore small, chamber axis and ejector axis should match. David Bradshaw |

Like da' King said...if it is a pinned barrel it's good. I see it!! I stared and stared; couldn't see the difference. Then I tried to send a picture to Zeus but since my Saturday was really messed up, I sent it to Silcott. Woke up this morning and found that mistake, resent it correctly to Zeus and finally spotted the difference. The raised area on the the ERH is sort of scalloped towards the front on the "good" barrel. Whew! This was making me crazier! Tim |

Received communication from Bowen this AM. States a full underlug barrel is too problematic and costly. States he has appropriate barrels in his shop. Now I have to decide if I want to sacrifice a 3 3/4" Bisley for the conversion. Decisions, Decisions.
