Isn't is Flopshot's brother selling used gun parts? Maybe he's worth a try.

I think this is their fb page. https://www.facebook.com/hogislandgunparts/

Well Ruger is sending me the parts at no charge, except they messed up my address on the shipping label, so I shot them another email. I need to do a lot of work on that gun yet, I need to take it completely apart, clean it, polish it, I need to grind and file the top of the barrel, it had those cooling fins which totally corroded, so I'll bring it back to a regular barrel. I have no idea how it's attached to the barrel, it's a different material and separate from the sights.

No need to grind anything, that appendix on top of the barrel came off when I tapped on it, just polishing and cleaning, then blueing the whole gun. It's not as bad as it once looked. Too bad I'm doing it as a favor and not to keep it.

Got a late 70’s super black hawk in 357 I inherited but haven’t ever shot, my old man got a real old one from I think late 60’s that’s a 44 mag and I’ve never shot that one too.

Well then get after it! Otherwise they will wind up looking like Aviator's project gun if you neglect them.

Dammit, the trigger pin pulled a disappearing act on me, While tapping it back in, it jumped, hit me in the stomach and is nowhere to be found. I moved everything in that room, laid on the floor with a flashlight, checked inside the garbage can, a gun cleaning bag that was open, even inside my shoes, moved the bench, my ammo cabinet, the beach chairs, even turned them upside down and shook them....nothing.
