I was searching the Ruger forum for something and ran across an old post.

Funny how we get used to prices going up.
Another I shouldn't have sold but that when parts were available and all the "great ones" were putting out fine work hand over fist you could "always just get one built".
I found this one at Collector's Firearms and if I recall I made some change on it.
$1600 for this gun now would make me chew my chain to get to it.
Compare it to a similar .44 Special from Alan that's for sale for $3K and it's worth it.
That $`1600 number was my general cutoff point for a case colored simple caliber conversion at that time. Wouldn't go higher and found many for less.
How times have changed...
