I'm following this closely as I just got a custom .25-20 blackhawk I'm concerned about. The clean chamber and brass is what I've read too. Don’t worry Greg, your 25-20 shoots just fine. No worries here.... I just need to shoot it! I do have an uncanny way of getting things screwed up sometime though so information is good just in case....

I'm hardly the guy to help here, but before others more knowledgable come along it might be nice to know if you cleaned the chambers and wiped lube off the brass before shooting. Seems some say clean and dry is the trick. Others say it's the geometry of certain rounds that make bottleneck revolvers work or fail. Chamber finish plays a role as well I believe. Thankfully those items can generally be corrected. I'm following this closely as I just got a custom .25-20 blackhawk I'm concerned about. The clean chamber and brass is what I've read too.

Those skeletonized hammers have grown on me. Like a lot of folks who were ambivalent about them, now I wish I'd snagged some on closeout. Me too...this is the first one I'd seen in person and they're nice. I did get a couple of the express hammers and a couple OM Super hammers he did when they were on sale. I still have the No. 1 trigger too....

I bid the .44 far north of what I initially intended but the buzzard wants it real bad. Maybe next time… Thanks! I can tell you that selling to a NR bidder gives me the willies...I almost blocked him but we were all there once so I figured I'd give him a chance. He already contacted me and sounds excited so I feel better...

Beautiful guns. Isn't the 686 offered in 6" from the factory? Yes it is…. But this one’s barrel was installed with care.

That 44 special made me have a little spell for a minute. Just my kind of handgun! Do it! There will be no more and you see few long barreled customs!

Good point by Cary. He made several nice grips for me before he retired. Yes he did!

Is there any chance of getting this one pushed through? Hell, I’ll buy the extra molds if we can get it done. I’ll send him an e-mail and ask. Thanks!

It's interesting that there's threads on both the 480 Rugers and Ruger FT 44 Specials right now. My favorite 480 Ruger is a JRH Custom on a Ruger Bisley Midframe Flattop. What was I thinking when I sold mine?
