Looks beautiful.
I'd try and buy if it wasn't just outside of budget and I didn't want to try hand at the lipseys convertible I inquired about.
Part of the fun is the build and making it your own, but I'll be watching the link section here closely for something good in .45

Nice gun for sure. I really like his front sight but for some reason it looks funny on a single action, to me anyway.

Call me a nut, but I cringe when I see a beautiful custom, like this one, built on the NM action. The inevitable turn line on the cylinder just ruins it for me. Yeah, I know, it just gives the gun character, etc., etc. But to me it is akin to a fine artist painting a barn door -- that just isn't the right platform. Good luck to the seller on an otherwise gorgeous revolver at a decent price.

Dave is a great guy and is selling Jin's guns for him.
I passed once again because it's a re-bored factory cylinder, not a long one.
Jim is setting the price on this gun which IMO is high.
I shoulda bought the bisley that sold a few weeks ago foe $500 less.

Seems high to me as well. If it were a Bisley five-shot, I'd be in trouble!

Ok, I have to ask. Why, on a custom gun, can they not eliminate the drag line from occurring? I thought it could be times up right so as to prevent that.

It takes some modification to the bolt nose or hammer plunger to eliminate the ring on a new model and I only know of one or two guys who do it to their new models and they are private individuals not for hire gunsmiths.

Thanks King6 for the explanation.

You can time it right but the shooter will still have to make sure they close the gate with a bolt notch over the bolt. You'd have to do this every single time you opened the gate.

Interesting. But why? Does it make the bolt less likely to engage the cylinder notches fully and throw the timing off? |
