I own a Thunder Five Revolver serial number 2801. I have seen Thunder Five revolvers with fluted cylinders. Mine was mfged in Piney Flats, TN with a fully-circular none-fluted cylinder and the fluted ones say they are too. Was there a change or option available when ordered new? Or are the fluted Thunder Fives altered with Ruger Judge cylinders?

Thanks for your consideration and reply.

My Thunder Five also has a non-fluted cylinder, however I believe these were made both ways with the newer ones having a fluted cylinder. By the way, mine shoots slugs extremely well but won't stabilize 45 Colt bullets.

Don't believe Ruger made the Judge. Try Taurus.

Older Thunder Five's do not have fluted cylinders the newer ones do.
No, they were not altered with Judge cylinders.
