I bought this one second hand. Here's a list of what was done to it. Darned close to what I would have had done myself. Gunsmith- Alan Harton Base gun- Ruger 50th Anniversary 44 Magnum -Douglas barrel 4 5/8" Taylor throated -Action/trigger job -pinned front sight with 2 gold bars -black powder chamfer on cylinder -end play set to minimum -Keith style locking Belt mountain base pin -Hammer and trigger blued-(hammer was reduced by .007 on the sides so it won't scratch against the frame) -Polished Blue I'm unsure who did the Elk Grips, but they are fitted very well.     |

Thanks! I've had this one about 4 months now, and I still can't wipe the smile off my face |

not all customs are extremely exotic ; some almost appear factory. just finished this one up for a great friend customer- he's normally a pachmyar man so the request for factory wood suprized me   gunsmith-Shorty500 base gun -a Ruger SBH that came 5.5 and had previously had front sight moved back to make room for machined in compensator barrel- factory shortened to 3.9 sights- factory with front retained by screw grips- factory wood for XR3RED trigger- set @ 3# base pin- existing Belt Mountain locking pin retained and shortened to allow max stroke ejector rod & housing- shortened factory with offset cut milled to allow base pin removal without removing housing |
