Uh oh. I need to build something like that. Chop and channel my Harton 357 OM 45 Colt conversion?

Thanks for the pics guys. I've seen old guns where the bluing has turned plum.
What I'd like to see more of are conversions that have been "browned" instead of blued. Like Robbs gun. That looks good. Kind of hard to tell from the pic but is the barrel more brownish than blue? Any specific reason he did the hammer and trigger? I assume that's the Clements gun? Did you request it? I like how it "flows" with the the rest of the gun.

The pictures are misleading. The entire gun is browned. The previous owner had David apply that finish and when I bought the gun I was surprised but very happy. It is the only browned gun I have and I love how it looks.

Octagon brown is just too cool. I really like the finish with case color and octagon barrel. It kind of reminds me of the fine five-shot on the back cover of the dust jacket of Bowen's book. Just glad it's not a 45 or I would be trying to talk Robb out of it.
I was just thinking of that old flat top I bought off you about 20 months ago and have still to lay eyes on. Hope Clements finishes up soon--should be a beaut! Think a browned octagon heavy five 45lc may be on he horizon.

I want to wake this thread back up cuz I was hopeing to see some refinished brown stuff . Not factory going plum but intentional brown. I have a job looming to do one of my blackhawks with Laurel mountain rust blue and it seems you can go either brown or blue. I need help to focus one way or the other.

My bisley was browned by David. It is a new model gun that was refinished to the brown.
