I know from the picture the stag grips look like they fit. They don't, not even close, nothing stock does. That is an unknown aftermarket steel gripframe. This gun started out as a $200 pawnshop beater I bought in the mid 90's. I had my local 'smith fit the grip frame, shorten the barrel and send it to Turnbulls for CCH. I'm Having Jack Huntington re-shape and extend the gripframe and fit it with the left over English walnut from my 480 project. Also he is fitting it with one of Aggie01's front sight's. Jack had one in his shop, and they are really nice!! The Before:  I think it turned out great!!!      |

End-to-end just perfect. Please let us know how it shoots. Whitworth tested a Blackhawk with Jack's reshape and I was thoroughly impressed. So much so I sent two XR3's west that very week. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |

So Jack does his reshape grip frame on any single action? I thought it was only the BFR.

So Jack does his reshape grip frame on any single action? I thought it was only the BFR. The BFR grip frame is essentially a Ruger "Dragoon" (SBH) grip frame. He performs the same treatment to the various "plow handles" that Ruger offers (XR3, XR3-RED, Dragoon). |

I prefer the modified frame over the Bisley, this is the 4th one I've had Jack do for me. I hope to get out and shoot it this weekend or early next week.  |

It is kind of Bisley-like, but there is more room behind the trigger guard. A stock Bisley smacks my middle knuckle with heavy loads.
