This Ruger OLD ARMY percussion revolver features a 7-1/2", .45 caliber, blued steel barrel, frame, loading lever, trigger guard, and back straps with walnut grips. This revolver is used and a few areas display normal wear from operation, including the cylinder from the latch and the loading lever plunger. The walnut grips are factory fitted with the Ruger emblem.

This revolver includes:

• Bianchi leather holster
• cleaning rod with a jagged tip
• "L"-shaped nipple wrench
• Lyman .457 double cavity round ball mold with handles.

The top of the 7-1/2" barrel is stamped Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc., Southport, Conn., U.S.A . This revolver pre-dates the addition of the warnings that were added to later production guns. The front sight blade is serrated, to minimize glare, for the best sight picture. A windage- and elevation-adjustable rear sight is factory installed. This revolver has a smooth action, with a nice trigger release.

The factory recommends a .457" round ball. This revolver has slightly chamfered chamber mouths. If your revolver shaves lead, slightly polish each chamber mouth with fine emery and a marble until the ball seats fully, compressing the lead instead of shearing it. The factory original stainless steel Ruger hex nipples are installed in the cylinder. We offer stainless steel replacement nipples, our #PRA-S, that use a standard large revolver nipple wrench. The cylinder has safety notches cut between each nipple recess. Pull the hammer to half-cock, turn the cylinder to align the safety notch with the hammer nose, and set the hammer into the notch. You can safely carry this revolver with all six chambers loaded if you rest the hammer in a safety notch.

A very nice condition example of the no longer manufactured Ruger Old Army revolver. Order it for a ten-day visual inspection. You will be delighted. Else if it does not fit you, return it in unfired condition for a same-day refund. Postage is your only risk when you order any one-of-a-kind gun from Track, whether new, used, or antique.
