After many years of wanting a 4-5/8" OM Flattop 44 Magnum, I recently picked up for a good price a well used 6-1/2" specimen that I didn't mind cutting down. Unfortunately, some poor misguided nitwit sent the gun back to Ruger for the "upgrade" & the original internal action parts were missing...Since I've been enjoying an extended July 4th vacation, I went ahead & cut the barrel back, recrowned it & also milled up & attached a new Ruger style front sight last week in my backyard machine shop. So...Now I'm searching for some original action parts & all my usual sources have turned up nothing, so if anyone here should have any for sale or know of someone that does please let me know so I can get this one put back the way it should be before it goes out for refinishing. Thanks...Also, some before & after pics below.   |

Contact Gary West on the Ruger Forum. He goes by the handle of Jussbad over there. I may have most of the parts but they will not be matched or fitted.

Nice project, waiting for "done" pics with the reblue. CCH frame would really set that off.
