Well, here is the start of a very special sixgun that has been in the planning stages for awhile. I am about ready to start on this one since I nearly have the Hammer complete. This one was a gift from the Hidestretcher and I am planing to give it a complete makeover. This is a 3 screw 41 Magnum and while it is pretty rough on the outside it is a really tight shooter. We are going to make it pretty.

Got some good ingredients there. I'm looking forward to seeing this one being built up too.

THIS, will be a goodun! From start to finish and I would bet my wife’s nose pickin’ finger that it finishes with some special leather. I’m thinking there’s a 600 grit finish in this revolvers future.

The first thing on the list, is the work that is the most intrusive and that would be the welding. Here you can see the main frame ears are going to have to be built up so that they blend properly with the Bisley grip frame.

Excellent choice my friend. Your taste and mine are similar in the gun department.
