I just picked up a new Ruger Super Blackhawk in .30 Carbine...it should be a real flamethrower. My question is from looking the revolver over closely. The barrel is devoid of markings other than the usual Ruger warning statement and company address...which is on the underside of the barrel and the Ruger address is partially obscured by the ejector rod housing. The sides of the barrel are smooth..no roll marks of any kind.
Also...the caliber is marked on the receiver. I'm under the impression that the law specifies the caliber must be marked on the barrel.
Is this an anomaly or factory error of some kind? I'm not looking at this as being collectible or more valuable...I simply am curious about it. If nothing else I know I can call Ruger and ask...maybe the best course of action.
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
