That would be pretty cool, pricey, and extremely rare since the longest barrel Ruger put on their Old Army is 7.5”Grail Gun is an ROA stainless 8 incher right there...
They are around, you shouldn't have problem finding a nice one. Unless you must have a blue, I suggest stainless:... I would like to get a Ruger if I could find one.

I’ve seen them with corrosion on all surfaces. It’s not exactly stain proof! It’s stain less…More resistant to corrosion, although, not 100%, but better than blue one. I had see ROA stainless with noticeable corrosion on hammer and inside hammer slot. The fact is nothing could replace throughout cleaning.

Yeah, a wee bit higher price than I can afford right now, maybe next year. In the meantime, this will suffice.They are around, you shouldn't have problem finding a nice one. Unless you must have a blue, I suggest stainless:

If I am in your shoes, I will go in all those pawn and gun shops in small towns. You will be surprised what you can find at affordable prices, a nice ROA also.Yeah, a wee bit higher price than I can afford right now, maybe next year. In the meantime, this will suffice.

I think people buy stainless thinking that means maintenance free.More resistant to corrosion, although, not 100%, but better than blue one. I had see ROA stainless with noticeable corrosion on hammer and inside hammer slot. The fact is nothing could replace throughout cleaning.
Nothing wrong with the New Army. Replacement parts are a lot easier to find than for the ROA, but the ROA is a lot less likely to need them.If I am in your shoes, I will go in all those pawn and gun shops in small towns. You will be surprised what you can find at affordable prices, a nice ROA also.
There is something IMHO more important than anything else:Nothing wrong with the New Army. Replacement parts are a lot easier to find than for the ROA, but the ROA is a lot less likely to need them.
