1) a stoning fixture specifically for the Blackhawk. I've got a Powers, but they are made for the 1911 and need an adapter. I would like one solid and specific.
2) The action jig you have posted in the gripframe thread for the Blackhawk to be available for order. Also made for the BFR and FA guns. It'd be great to test trigger jobs under spring tension without having to keep reassembling the gun.
3) The rear sight blades Fermin and Ronnie offer are neat and work, but I would like to see the Rough Country and Target style rear sight available widely again.
4) The maximum length stainless frame idea is great, but it'd be better with old model lockwork.
5) Brass ejector rod housings. They match the gripframe.
6) Real metal brass trim jigs that actually fits the harbour freight saw and works for making correct cut down brass for the 480,JRH, and the Linebaugh maximums. Also would be nice to have one to cut 414 Supermag to 1.39" if that project pans out.
I'm sure others will add to this list. Can't have you sitting around with nothing to do, Ronnie!🤣🤣

There are powers stoning fixture conversions for sale on eBay. Being sold by Powers. I've got one and have been using it. I would just like to see a specific one for the Blackhawk/Bisley. No adapter is perfect, especially when disassembled every time I want to do a 1911 and then reassembled. |

That would be a HUGE cylinder! The entire frame would have to be substantially (perhaps grotesquely so) bigger. I was just thinking lengthening just slightly for a little more powder. Probably not worth the minimum velocity gain

Probably not worth the minimum velocity gain Bowen did a 577 on a Redhawk But walls were thin and a 5 shot And RH is large. Now I have to go measure my OA……. |

Probably not worth the minimum velocity gain If you are talking about velocity, why couldn't the cylinder be built with the intent of using smokeless powder? A Ruger only charge of powder without the brass? Only problem I can foresee would be with the caps. An ignition method would have to be worked out for it. |

My wishlist item for Mr Wells is a Bisley hammer, for the Redhawk, and maybe the Super Redhawk too. He's already making bisley hammers so it seems like a small step.

And that brass is worth thousands of lbs of pressure True when it comes to the case head sealing the chamber. That would be the problem with smokeless powder pressure coming through the flash hole on higher pressure loads. Someone smarter than me would have to find a way. |

Ditto I have enough problems with BP. |

I meant Ronnie and Fermin It exposes a larger audience to their products and can link to their sites as well. Neither of their sites have a strong Google presence yet It’s a common market with a ton of traffic and could pull in a lot of hits with the right descriptors. Anyone looking for grips, grip frames, springs, sights or sight blades etc would find their products even if they were only looking for OEM parts initially. Lots of Ruger owners don’t know their parts exist, but the guy who lost his sight spring or grip screw will go to eBay looking for the part and might find some nice upgrades they don’t know they needed. |
