I asked a friend of mine if I could shoot his 125th Anniversary Colt and he said it probably needed cleaning. As I have never fired a real Colt I stated "It's OK, I like to clean guns". Ten minutes later he comes back with four guns, this one is the most "involved". Gonna take a LOT of Q-tips. This gun has killed enough deer to (insert analogy). I actually do like cleaning filthy guns, this will be good for our relationship. One of the guns is a S&W semi 22 with the bore beneath the lug, AKA Rhino. I forgot the model number (2206), I'll post pics.  |

An unconverted old model Super with stag grips, nice.
The 22 could be a 422 blue or 622 stainless, if it has an aluminum frame. If it’s all steel it would be a 2206. There were also pocket sized versions of the first two, the 2213 and 2214.

I really like those polychoke vent ribs, when they are executed correctly. That one is.

I never knew they made a vent rib for those! I kinda want to track one down now...
That's a great old school rig. Is the hammer extension for the SBH or something else?

Those old polychoke ribs were a "stick on" affair,, easily added to a Ruger. Those grips look like faux stag on wood. Are they?  I'd say that hammer extension is too small for the SBH. Have fun cleaning the guns! |

The grips look like Jay Scott fake stag. I remember every gun magazine having an add for those vent ribs. You could get one for a Security Six too. The fact that it has been used to take a bunch of deer and it shows "use but not abuse" does make it attractive to me.

I've bought a couple SBH with the Polychoke rib and a few seconds with the heat gun and POOF! they were gone!

The 22 is a 2206 Warhawk, +1. The grips are fake stag on wood. The rib is I believe held on with silicone of all things. It's gooey and pick resistant. Hammer extender is stripped and for a Marlin. Anyone know the thread size on the hammer extension set screw? How would a Blackhawk hammer look on a Marlin? I think I like the idea.

After complete takedown and cleaning, this one had a substantial amount of flame cutting on the top strap. Back it goes to the owner today. There's a free wheeling Bearcat up next.

Greg.... how can a Super Blackhawk exhibit top strap erosion without severe barrel face erosion?

Unsure sir, not something I've been "taught" to look for until now, thank you sir. I will take a look and try and get pics. Now that I think about it, if the top strap is affected, wouldn't the cylinder bushing be affected also? What goes up goes down in that situation I'm guessing.

It would take a lot of hot burning powder to act like a cutting torch on a Ruger topstrap, let alone a Ruger .44 Magnum topstrap.

Apparently the cleaning eliminated what I thought was flame cutting. The barrel face cannot say the same.
