Does a ruger super redhawk Alaskan 44 magnum have an non- fluted cylinder?
No, the super redhawk series in 44 magnum have fluted cylinders while 454 Casull and 480 Ruger versions have the non-fluted cylinders. There are custom gun shops, such as Bowen Custom Arms and Geeder Custom Gun, that will machine and fit either style cylinder you wish. However, the cost of such work often exceeds the cost of the base gun. Be aware that an unfluted cylinder does not increase the strength factor over a fluted designed cylinder. It does decrease gun weight though.
