I picked this up this morning from GB on a buy it now. It's an old model Single Six in 41 Special. It appears to be an early build of John's. I only know of one other 41 special in a single six. Curtis  |

I'm a "not another caliber" kind of guy but that would have made me think twice.

After I saw it I talked to Tim about it because I knew he wouldn't want it(He already has one). I didn't trust the rest of you. HAHAHA

I saw it last night but a recent large purchase kept me from jumping on it. Good buy, and an especially good deal considering.

I passed on it as well with the 3 recent guns that came from John I figured no use in being a hoarder.

How in the world did I miss this one....?
I talked to John long ago and he said he'd never build another.
That's when I had Alan build the one Tim has....
There is another Gallagher .41 Special on a Single Six out there...Aggie01 maybe?

It lasted about as long as a Horvath gun did!  |

Does anybody know the significance of those brass inlays and the scrimshaw?
It had my wheels turning with a brass bird's head or thunderer grip frame, sharpened up front sight, and maybe a modified hammer spur.
What level of loads can this type of build take?

I have a OM Bisley Single six Hammer. And a Stroh front sight in my stash, if that gives you ideas.

Parts I wish I had and would 100% use on this gun, given the caliber and the top strap which is my favorite SS configuration.
Now how can I trade you out of the finished product lol
Congrats again on a very special gun

What level of loads can this type of build take? I stay below 1000 FPS with 200 gr or less lead. Tim |
