I just received a Ruger Redhawk 4" .45 Colt and looking down the bore the twist grooves seem rather light, lacking depth. This is especially in comparison to my 625 Mountain Gun also in .45 Colt, which has relatively deep twist grooves. They stand out when lit. The Redhawk grooves do not.
The Redhawk was sold as NIB on GunsAmerica and in every other respect it appears to be a new firearm, tight with mint cosmetics. It appears to have had no prior use except that there was powder in the barrel and the front of the cylinder is a bit blackish, which could have been from test firing. It somes from a seller with a flawless record.
Does the Ruger Redhawk have shallower twist gooves than the Smith or is this a shot-out barrel?
