Ok, as some of you have probably noticed, I have been asking a lot of questions and some have been strange I'll admit but I have now finalized the details with John Powers and will be sending off a Ruger Old Model Flattop Blackhawk in .357 Mag made in 1966. The following is the list of what he will be doing: Rechamber cylinder to 10mm Fit and chamber extra cylinder to .38-40 5 inch octagon barrel Barrel length steel ERH Bisley Grip frame from Ronnie Wells Bisley Hammer and trigger Belt Mountain base pin Action Job Free spin pawl Case harden frame and hammer Blue cylinder and barrel Scott Kolar grips, either Fancy Walnut or American Holly
Anything I haven't thought of?
Who should I contact about a holster?

Left off the front sight. It will be a Fermin Garza with an interchangeable blade so I can swap them out for the different rounds. He is also going to mark the barrel 10mm/.38 WCF

I still hold those old cartridges in high regard.
I got Clements to mark mine 38-40 and the 10mm Cylinder is marked on the face like the Colts.
Sounds like you're headed for a first rate custom.
I load the 200 grn GT Hollow Point out long on the 10mm and reach great ballistics with Longshot Powder.

I have waffled back and forth for a couple years and every time I was going to do it I ended up buying other guns that put this on the back burner. I finally decided to get off my butt and buy the donor and send it off.
