looks like time to dredge this one back to the top... got a E-mail from John Powers today, that my revolver should be ready in the next couple weeks... barrel is in the lathe right now   &, No, this one won't be for sale... I already had a spot saved for this one...  |

Just the kind of projects that make me smirk a little. Look forward to following the progress of this one.

A couple pictures from John this morning...  this picture kinda looks like there is a flaw on the front sight... but must be a piece of lint or oil, I asked him about it, & he took a close up of the front sight... This is one of Fermins mirrored front sights  Also the #5 Belt Mountain pin was in an envelope in the box... he didn't catch that it was in there ( thought it was a factory fired case ) he checked it this morning, & it didn't require any fitting, so that is not in these pictures, but it's on the gun now... can't wait to get this one home... The factory grips don't look bad on the gun, but thinking maybe I "need" a 2nd set of Rams Horn grips to put on this revolver... I have a PM into LSCG to see what we can do about that |
