Alan Harton put this together for me from a 7.5" bisley I didn't like and the take offs from a big bore conversion. .483-.484 chambers and proper throats: Alan also lowered the spur on this one for me. (FA 454) Pretty good chance it'll shed the scope after this winter's hunting.

No, not Shawn, his Dad Blake. He built guns for Todd Jarrett and a number of world class shooters before he got into building Pro Stock cycle engines.

I was unaware of that. My bad. Just a bike fan of Pro Stock Bikes. And at least I do know who Todd Jarrett is

Blake is the type of guy that decides what he wants to do, then does it. We were at the drag strip in the early 80's when he decided to become a gunsmith. I sort of chuckled at the time and six months later he was building competition guns and had 2 government contracts for the skull cracker .45 autos. Needless to say when he told me he was going Pro Stock racing I didn't chuckle this time. Next time I saw him he was on the starting line at Bristol. He is quite a talented fellow.

Here's my "nearly" stock Ruger SS Bisley .45 Colt/.45 ACP Convertible. I had a trigger job done and I reamed both cylinder's thoats to .4525". It is now a VERY accurate and most useful handgun: Dale53

I only have two Ruger Single Actions, but I have killed deer with one of them. Running up my all-important post count here.

here's my Colt SAA, shipped 1877, all numbers matching, except grips. Wow, that would be my favorite too. Thanks for sharing. Frank

This is a Turnbull Open Range. 5.5" barrel, .45LC. When I ordered it, I ordered a bisley hammer to go on it. Last time I was at Turnbull's, they said they could no longer make them with the bisley hammer as their source was now selling them as a production hammer to another company. Some kind of legalities. So anyway, here it is.

This is a Turnbull Open Range. 5.5" barrel, .45LC. Nice. Is this going to be the "one"? I couldn't help but take notice of your comment in the 1923 44 spec SAA thread just a few days back. I came to a similar realization a while ago and I'm in the midst of the same process.

Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to get down to the one. I will probably have one in .22,.32,.357, and .44. At least for now. I don't think that is all too bad. But if it ever came to the one it would be my .44 Special with the #5 gripframe and octoganol barrel from Alan Harton
