I look at the classifieds often over on the ruger forum and have noticed that unconverted super blackhawks bring more parted out than whole. Im talking about a decent revolver with some holster wear. Why is that?

Cause it's cheaper for someone who wants a hammer and trigger for their 357 or 45 to pay $200 than to buy a whole gun and rob the parts they need. I prefer to buy the whole gun, swap out parts from my gun and sell whole donor gun for what i pay for it.

Thanks for the reply Joe. I have a OMSB thats unconverted with some slight holster wear but no box. Its a nice revolver. It just seems like Id get more out of it by parting it out vs selling it outright......

Actually you probably would. I have bought several OM supers over the years and did that after I snagged the part or couple of parts I needed. Pretty simple math when you look at an OM SBH grip frame at $100, the internal parts at close to $200, cylinder at close to another C note then you still have the main frame, barrel, ERH parts etc. Look at what Mr. Deerstalker got for the OM SBH main frame plus the money he got for the cylinder from the same gun and it starts adding up. Yes, you take a perfectly good OM out of circulation but in many cases you let a number of old guns get put back closer to their original configuration. I have had guys gripe about me doing it but like I tell them, all you had to do was buy the gun instead of letting me buy it.
