I'd wish for a BFR Conversion Package. Rechamber to preferred chambering, rebarrel, FA front sight base and choice of blades.
Thus would make great, simple conversions because the BFR Markings are on the barrel.
38-40, 44-40, 45 Colt, 480 Ruger, etc just to name a few.
360 Dan Wesson, 41 Mag and 44 Mag in 1.4" would be over the top.
Gripframe with panels could be added if desired...

I meant Ronnie and Fermin Gotcha - Power custom has a ton of listings not organized into an ebay store hence the comment.

Maybe it's just me, but I was actually thinking about giving Ronnie a call to see how difficult it would be to do a TLA #5 style hammer for a Blackhawk... Imagine a #5 or Wells #9 grip frame, that hammer, with a S&W-style ribbed barrel and one of Fermin's TLA front sights...that thing would be sexier than socks on a rooster

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. Ive already done that sir, and a super blackhawk style wide spur. They will be available soon. That was the first thing i did when i decided to make old model Hammers. Didnt post any pics because i chose to figure out how to manufacture the OMs first. The redhawk is a bit trickier. R

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. I am playing with one now. I think the trick is to have the hammer striker wrap around and encase the cap when it falls. A recess in the striker. But it might need a lot of attention. Im gonna try it. R

I have a TLA Hammer in here now that is going to find its way mated to a OM Ruger lower shortly. Its not hard, just different. Me and dusty Hooley have designed up a much more bisley ( Colt) style hammer for the OM for use with a more realistic looking Colt bisley grip Frame. R

The cylinder length will allow it based on the longest Bullets i could find. R

Since we are making wish lists, I would love Ruger pre-fit barrels for a local gunsmith to fit. Bull barrels, octagon barrels, banded barrels, maybe something wazoo with a port cut in like a race gun just because…..
Before I put my grip frame on order, I spoke with Ronnie for a bit. I was blown away by not only how friendly and….”accessible” he (and Fermin) is, but how much knowledge he has and distills to a level that a knuckle dragger like me can understand.

My wish for Ronnie…..I wish he’d slow down a little, smell the roses so to speak, enjoy life because it’s too short. On another note Ronnie is working on a lot of non gun related goodies for you guys, just wait until he releases the RW Grip Frame swim wear line! 😂

Hahahaha. In my case it would be a mighty small sock, LOL. And now for something completely different. Thatl date me huh? Me and Karmen went to cozumel for the weekend and had a Blast. Got absolutely snicker doodled on the beach with the Dos xx s. Man oh man, we dont consider ourselves drinkers and it showed. We were staggering back thru the duty station on our way to the Carnival breeze and a lady stopped us and asked us if we wanted to buy a bottle of tequila and i started laughing as i stated , do we look like we need Tequila. Hahaha. She said no i guess not!!! Gosh we had so much fun. I know there is a pile of us on this forum that have walked the decks of some ships in our life time but it had been a while for me and i had forgotten how blue the ocean actually is. we get to used to our Willy Wonka chocolate colored water in galveston which is about a 15 minute drive from our house in Alvin. And we frequent it as much as possible. So thank you my buddy Sam, I did have a very relaxing time and hit the ground running this morning. We are shipping a pile of grip frames and i am steadily programming the Jaws to hold my Redhawk Hammers. Then the gp 100 s. I have completed the jaws for the New Model Blachawk hammers cuz im tired of scrounging for Bisley Hammers in Chrome steel. The Stainless Im getting from the the big R are starting to wain way away from what i would consider usable quality. Sam and Jamey , i love you guys. yall are the best man. Happy Trails and hot lead Breatheren. R

Hahaha. Thats Hilarious.
