Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this single-action revolver today for a penny-start auction, this is the Ruger New Model Blackhawk.
In 1976, to celebrate the United States Bicentennial, Ruger marked nearly all of its firearms with the roll-stamped inscription “Made in the 200th Year of American Liberty.” This special marking appeared on a wide range of models, including the Security-Six, Single-Six, Blackhawk, Mini-14, and others produced that year. While not a limited edition in the traditional sense—since Ruger applied the stamp to all guns manufactured in 1976—the marking has become a popular collector’s detail due to its patriotic significance.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger New Model Blackhawk stands as a striking fusion of traditional single-action heritage and modern precision engineering, a revolver that feels as purposeful as it looks. Chambered in the powerful .357 Magnum, this revolver delivers exceptionally flat-shooting performance and consistent accuracy in a full-sized frame, its satin stainless steel construction lending both rugged durability and a timeless, brilliant elegance. Measuring 12.38 inches in overall length and weighing 48 ounces, it carries with a reassuring heft that steadies the hand while maintaining a smooth, responsive feel that speaks to its balanced, deliberate design. The smooth walnut grips—accented with Ruger medallions—fill the palm naturally, offering a comfortable, instinctive point of aim that reflects the enduring appeal of classic western-style revolvers. Beneath its refined exterior lies a revolver engineered for precision and longevity. The 6.50" cold hammer-forged barrel, cut with six precise grooves and a 1:16" right-hand twist, is built for exceptional accuracy and extended service life, ensuring it performs with confidence whether on the range or in more deliberate field use.

A serrated ramp front sight pairs seamlessly with an adjustable rear sight, allowing for precise, repeatable shot placement across varying distances. Ruger’s transfer bar mechanism and loading gate interlock system provide a modern layer of safety without compromising the revolver’s traditional single-action operation, reinforcing secure handling and peace of mind. Altogether, this New Model Blackhawk in .357 Magnum is more than just a capable revolver—it is a refined expression of Ruger’s single-action lineage, blending time-honored design with enduring performance and reliability.
