This one arrived today after a bit of a wait.
It's a .32-20 Buckeye that an "Engineer" in NY who said he attended the gunsmithing school in Trinidad did some modifications on.
He installed the bisley grip frame which has been rounded just a tad and the contour reminds me of a Dustin L contour with that little flair at the rear and bisley hammer which is stainless and could use polishing.
He also shortened the barrel to 5.15"(odd number)
Bobby Tyler removed the barrel markings, polished case hardened and blued the rest of the revolver. Bobby also said "The front of the receiver and barrel face have been faced off blueprinted and trued up, end shake has been set and all cylinders have been trued up".
I'll be honest, I haven't seen a whole lot of Bobby's work and was a bit skeptical but it's damned nice.
My biggest distraction is that the front sight isn't at the end of the barrel where it belongs but I'm confident an Aggie01 blue sight base will fix that.
All in all it's quite a nice gun.
