Had an AWA on consignment at the local gun shop. Got a call from the dealer that a guy was there wanting to trade for it. I asked what he had and the dealer said it was a Ruger 357 BH. He said it was in prity good shape with a little muzzle ware and aftermarket grips with a chip knocked out of it. I went to the store and it turned out to be a 3 screw(no box or paperwork)and without the original grips. I checked it out and something looked unusual when I looked at the barrel. I asked the guy what he had in mind. He said he would give the BH and $225. I himed and hawed and squirmed a little 
;D and of took the trade in a heartbeat. I payed the dealer his $25 consignment fee. After the guy had done the check with the TBI and left with his gun, I told Mike to hand me his bore light and what I thought I had seen was right. It was an 8 grove barrel. Checked the numbers when I got home and it's a 1973 gun.
Now for my question. About how many 8 grove barrels did they make. I'm thinking this one is going to stay the way it is(MINUS THESE GRIPS). The action is smooth and when I checked the trigger with a poundage gage, it measured at 2 3/4 lbs three times in a row.
