I just traded into one of Doug Turnbull's Open Range revolvers with a special length 7-1/2" barrel and MuskOx grips by Paul Persinger. I thought I'd like the way it felt and looked, but I just can't warm up to the multi-colored frame and whitish grips. I have a S&W 27-5 that I had parkerized after being melonited and want to make a matched set, so my questions are...
1) Who would you recommend I send this revolver to to be bead blasted and blued for an all matte finish?
2) Since I'm turning the revolver into a "Black-Out" model anyway, I was thinking about having a picatinny rail mount added on top for a dot sight. Any concerns on the topstrap being too thin for this as a mounting option? Maybe I'll just have the topstrap milled out for a direct mounting of a Doctor sight?
3) Does Pachmayr or Hogue make rubber grips for this gun? How about Uncle Mike's?
Any help is appreciated as always!!
Thanks Guys,
Stump

sell it & buy what you really want. Hell, you could probably buy two of what you want, if you get a good price for it. It sounds like it simply isn't the right gun for you

Yes, you need a tac rail top and bottom... red dot UV target designator and a light. Are you going to add a single point or go with a Ching Sling? Have you considered a good old spray paint laundry bag pattern for a finish? Eotec or Appoint? 2 or 3x magnifier? and remember this post is USELESS WITHOUT A PICTURE! Oh, BUY THEM BOTH!

A bayonet lug could come in handy as well.... For sure he needs a grenade launcher mounted under the barrel...

Those Turnbulls are poorly done anyway...it's a perfect candidate for such "tricking out". I love the personalization...go get it Stumps! Can't wait for pics!

I just threw up in my mouth... I hope to God almighty this is an April fools joke. Otherwise we're going to have to start some sort of single action "rescue" sting operation for situations like this... sort of like animal cops, but for classic revolvers about to get "chopped and dropped"... or start a collection to buy it before it get's "frankenstiened"... to each his own but man what a thing to do to such a GORGEOUS wheel gun!

Glad I caught at least one person off guard before coffee woke 'em up this morning!!!
Hope you enjoyed the prank...Childish I know, but sometimes ya just gotta kid around a little to keep sane!!!
I wish I was fortunate to trade into such a beautiful idea of a base gun.....and THAT's NO JOKE!!!
Take Care Guys,
Stump
