I was looking over Gunblast.com. Jeff has an article on the Ruger factory. Here is a quote from his article

So maybe the 6 shot 480 is not gone quite yet. I hope it wasn't just extra parts being assembled to finish off what was left. Time will tell

Thats interesting, I thought they were done. Did he look around for a 5 shot SA in .480?

I called Ruger and they said they had some 5 shot cylinders still “in stock” for those that were interested.

I saw a Ruger Super Red Hawk 480 in a local Gun shop about 3 weeks ago,I think it was used.I f any one is interested I could check it out and see if it is still there and get some info on it.
I was not interested so did not look to hard at it.
