Boxhead,
The welding/fitting of backstarp to frame is exceptional.

Boxhead, The welding/fitting of backstrap to frame is exceptional. Yes it is. He does fine work. The alternative just doesn't work for me.  |

I agree 100%. Many #5 grip frame fits would have been unacceptable to Elmer.

Nice Steve! Here's one of my favorites. I picked it up pretty early on this cruise. Most have seen this gun before. This started out as a S&W barreled bisley that Bowen had listed as a shop example for sale on his website.I added a few options. Base Gun: Ruger Blackhawk Bisley Caliber: 5 shot 45 Colt Gunsmith: BCA Barrel: 5 1/2" S&W 29, re-bored Gripframe: Stock Bisley Grips: Bighorn sheep by Roy Fishpaw Hammer: Bisley Everything else: scalloped recoil shield and gate, Bowen RC rear sight  |

You had better include my in that timeshare!! Simply jaw dropping!! I have always liked and admired Single Actions with Smith barrels.
Greg, when you first posted that one and Robb his Horvath 41..........I knew I had to have one.........It should be done in early spring.
