I am surprised you recovered bullets. I would have thought they would have gone on though. How fast were you pushing them?

My custom holster to compliment the custom 83. Ringler from Clark Wyoming made it for me.

Thanks!! It is my once in a life time revolver! Jack Huntington converted the mod 83 to 500jrh and Michael Gouse out of Montana did the engraving. I could not be happier!

Well actually it is going to be done very similar to yours! I hope that does not offend you. I really really liked the looks of yours that Michael did and asked it to be done very similar.
Bradshaw
I agree as I do not like the real deep relief engraving. However, I like bling. The pic of Criagc 500 is in my opinion and, that's what I am paying for, is the most handsome and well laid out engraving. As far as being to hard of material. All I can go by is what the artist says he can do. And he says he can do it.
Regards Mark

I reviewed the hardness issue with the engraver Michael Gouse. He said it would be harder on his tools but he could do it. So we will find out! Thanks for the heads up!

I am getting extra pin and spring. Did you dry fire yours a lot? I talked with the smith and he said even though they sell snap caps they don't recommend dry firing at all.
Ken
I spoke with one of the smiths and explained the conversion that has been done. He said no problem just send it in and for $106 and return shipping they would do it with about a week turn around. He also conveyed if you don't dry fire the gun you probably would not have a problem.
Thanks!

Thanks Bradshaw I am sending it to Freedom Arms tomorrow. They told me it would take about a week. Then I'll send it for engraving. Yes Snyd is to blame! Bad Snyd. It cost me a lot of money! We shot it today and wouldn't you know the firing pin was sticking! It has ample spring tension. The same as my newer 83. I believe it was just bone dry! I oiled it really well with break free. I primed 50 case and fired them and did not have another stick! However, I'll still send it for the conversion. Thanks all for the advice and compliments!

After reading your post I looked at the gun and found it is the old style pressed in firing pin. I called Freedom Arms and they told me they will convert it to the removable type for $106 plus return shipping. They also said if I don't dry fire it I should not have a problem. However, it is good to know if I do have a problem I can get it fixed. My 83 454 is the removable type. Thanks for the heads up!
joej
Yes sir it is a Wyoming combo. Snyd showed me his and I really liked it!
Thanks again All!

Thank You!
No grip mode per se. I sent a hand tracing and the grip fits me perfectly. The grips have no flare at the bottom or heel like my factory micarta grips on my 454 md 83.
