Okay, I'm either stupid or my eyes aren't working too well, but I own two stainless Bisleys and I'm having trouble seeing any modification to your grip frame. Is it possible to illustrate the difference, perhaps with side-by-side photos? Thanks. Shoot, I was supposed to post up a photo of the Huntington modified Bisley next to a stocker and I forgot. My apologies. Axe posted a tracing of the two grips (Huntington modified Bisley and a standard Bisley) when he got his Huntington .500 Maximum. The thread is here somewhere......let me look. It is subtle, but I can tell you that it works. My Maximum never makes knuckle contact (thankfully!). |

Yeah, That was me, It was during the "I picked up a used 500 max" Thread.................that spiraled out of contol. I live an 1 1/2 -2 hrs. from Jack's shop, I've held it and I have shot it. It looks just like a standard Bisley, He takes just enough out between the trigger guard and the backstrap. |

Axe did a great job of drawing pics.......Grips off standard Bisley vs. Grips off Huntington modified Bisley. Forum members need a pic of that.
Trust me, It's not very much...........but it sure is enough.

Not to be confused with how he modifies a Ruger Dragoon or a BFR grip frame...............The way those handle recoil is almost magical.
PS Whitworth, Its probably best to start a new thread on this subject.

No range report this weekend - too hot to shoot. I did touch off one cylinder full cause it couldn't stand it. This is in the shade and it feels hotter than that.  |

I do miss being in the south sometimes. Not when it's that hot though, I remember that Georgia summer humidity all too well.

Question: When the recessed case head custom Ruger 475 is built is it set up for the original 45-70 case head or the current small case head made so the 475 would fit into a FA? Small rim unless specified. But, not necessary since commercial .475 has been available since 1998. |

I agree. There's no need to cut them large. We've had excellent small rim commercial 475 for years. And it isn't that expensive. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |

Will somebody who has one of Huntington's extended Blackhawk plow handles do a tracing like Axe did with the modified vs. unmodified?

Funny how there are SO many ways to cut a crown. That one is just so very cool  |

That crown configuration is cool. Don't think I've ever seen it done that way. Details, wow.

My .500 Maximum is configured similarly. Sorry for the picture quality (or lack thereof).  |
