Replacing redhawk barrel
« on: December 14, 2009, 02:48:49 PM »
Does anyone have any experience having a barrel replaced on a redhawk?  Have one that the previous owner had grooves milled to accept ruger rings and the machine work is rough.

I've replaced barrels on a lot of handguns but not a Redhawk.  I did have Ruger replace a barrel on a stainless steel Super Blackhawk Hunter and the turn around time was very fast. I sent it to Ruger because the original barrel was defective so it didn't cost me anything.  Therefore I can't give you any estimate of what it will cost. Revolver barrels are not expensive and they are very easy to replace.
