Do all Ruger "New" model Super Blackhawks have the transfer bar? Which is the newer model, 2 or 3 screw? If you have an older one, can it be sent in to have it added? I'm new to these revolvers. Thanks.

the original model had 3 screws but the top of the frame,where the rear sight is mounted was flat.These 'flattops' bring a premium price when in good conditon.
the next series still has 3 screws,no trnsfer bar,but has protective 'ears' around the rear sight.Called 'old models' or 'ramptops'. The gripframe is shaped just a tad different as well.
IF you buy a gun that has had the transfer bar added,and then later decide to put in the original parts,they run upwards of 150.00 used.
The 'upgrade' by Ruger is something that NO true Ruger lover EVER does,fyi.AS long as you just load 5 and carry over an empty hole,ti's totally uneccesary,imho.
