New Model Blackhawk Grip Frame Replacement?

[jdpress]

Is there a direct, steel replacement for the aluminum New Model Blackhawk grip frame, that can be installed without modification?

I have a .45 Colt, 7-1/2 inch barrel New Model Blackhawk that was manufactured in February, 2013, less than two months ago.

I would prefer a round trigger guard but if a New Model Super Blackhawk square back trigger guard, grip frame would slip right in that would be perfectly acceptable.

Thank you for your assistance,

Pretty much all of the Ruger single action grip frames (except the Bearcat) are interchangeable.   The 50th Anniversary Blackhawks had steel grip frames.  Same grip frame as on the New Vaquero.  Problem is finding New Vaquero grip frames is very difficult.  They will all "slip on" as far as the screw holes are concerned.  However, most will require a little fitting around the edges if you want a perfect frame to grip frame fit.
