Official Single Action revolver thread (Page 16 of 21)
This Taylor & Co 1873 in .357 is my divorce present to myself. My ex accused me of DV in order to get the upper hand in the divorce. The charges were finally dropped last week, so I was able to go get it, as well as pick up the Rossi .30-30, which the FFL had been holding for me since all this started back in October. It feels good to be a free man once again.

I have a couple more I need to drag out and get pics of, but here is some fairly recent stuff. I really need to set up for better pics with better backgrounds and lighting, but for now …  This one is my only new model Ruger. 44 Special Flat Top, Belt Mountain base pin, Powers Bisley hammer and trigger, reblued in a high polish blue, and the icing on the cake … Persinger ivory grips.   These two were done by Matt Grabbe, (formerly) head gunsmith at Tyler Gun Works. The Single Six was pretty beat up, but this version in 4 5/8 is fairly uncommon and it’s a birth year Gun for me. Matt fixed a lot of ugly, polished and sealed the grip frame, case colored the frame, tuned the gun, and reblued it and added a nice set of Ruger grips. The Super Blackhawk (44 Magnum) was tuned, barrel cut to 5 inches, Fermin Garza front sight, Bowen rear sight, case color frame, polished and sealed grip frame, and reblued with walnut grips.

Rescue Ruger New Model Blackhawk .357 Was given this revolver, it looked like it had been stored in a tackle box for a few years, but the bore and charge holes were GTG. The pitting was so bad I had to start clean up by draw filing. So after many hours of polishing and refinishing, a Bisley grip frame conversion, barrel shortened to 5.5”, banded front sight with brass rod bead, rust blue and case coloring. I was shooting for a “Bowenesque” look.Attached File Attached File |

Threw my "self defense center fire" guns in the light box. .  Have a selection from, .45 Colt, .357 Magnum, and .45 ACP. Of course, the cartridge conversion would be the last choice out of the bunch. |
