Oh my gosh!! Not very often I’m speechless, but when saw this I didn’t have words!! It’s a work of art considering it started off as an old hand-me-down level single six. An amazing transformation!!
You really outdid yourself!!

Not only Ronnie and the boys make beautiful guns, they understand that these are tools that are made to be USED. The balance, point ability, obvious quality, and overall svelte size makes them instant heirloom pieces, that will be used for years and years, before proudly being passed along.

Lee i need to now if you want the sunken rim cylinder or the standard. Here is the sunken Rim. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time" ***** Ronnie Wells and Lee Martin are unique----different----yet kindered spirits. In art I came to appreciate the connection of hands to mind. We can theorize all night, yet it is through materials & tools that solutions suggest themselves. When I first heard Bill Ruger say it----“You can’t do a damn thing without tools"----I heard it as a recurrent theme of his work designing and manufacturing guns. Good tools liberate a creative mind to find solutions which bring insight to life. Before I met Ronnie, it was Lee Martin told me, “Ronnie Wells has it.” Meaning, in the world of hands-on tooling, Ronnie intuits solutions. Disparate backgrounds are no barrier when inventive minds lay ego aside to advance a solution. Exactly on this level I wish I’d known Lee and Ronnie in time to introduce each of these creative talents Bill Ruger. Considering the way Bill Ruger was beset by progressive rheumatoid arthritis, his gnarled hands barely able to control a handgun, it amazes me how enthused he was for the development of the Redhawk, the Red Label over/under shotgun, and immediately in the wake of those the Blackhawk .357 Maximum. It was a treat to watch Ruger's delight to sit at his picnic table and squeeze off six rounds from SRM-2 into as many inches @ 100 yards. Were not Bill Ruger so conceptionally & visually inclined, the world of civilian arms through the second half of the 20th century would shine a dimmer light. Conservation is the work of individuals who value their environment and wish to share its vibrancy. Ronnie and Lee, each in his own unique way, continue the spirit of Bill Ruger. These three men are solution-driven world talents. All three love putting the fulmination of powerful internal combustion engines and beautiful firearms to work. I am grateful to have learned from all three. In addition to exquisite machine work, a micro-look at the Ronnie Wells Single-Five .38 Special cylinder by Ronnie reveals his subtleties of smooth lockwork and a new cylinder head-spacing. in this work the more you know, the deeper you see.

You’re going to get me yet….. I already got, got! Single six heading that way The boys do awesome work. Ok Mike hang on Bud. I just shot my latest experiment, Little longer Cylinder, 6 and 3/4 length Barrel . Full Tilt Boogie 357 Magnum! I tried this Power pro 300-MP! 17/0 grains and 158 XTPs!!!!!!!!!!WOW, WHAT A HANDFULL. This thing bucks worse that any Bull i ever rode when i was young and Stupid! So Now im just old and still stupid but it went 1378 average FEEPS. Holy guacamole. Man you should see the fireball. My little dog Camper pissed all over the office and my Sand bucket moved back an inch or 2 with the firstr shot.Geese louiiiise! Now i gotta have one of those two. Just another .050 thou and this thing will work perfect for 32-20. Guys some body send an assasin team to just take me out. IM SUCKIN UP ALL THE FUN IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. There is just none left for anybody else. Gosh i blued a pile of yalls hammers, figured out how to make these things with a one leg Pawl arm that is so smooth on the five shooter. Had a good day today. I saw a thread earlier that was talking about when you start cocking the hammer and you dont complete the cycle, if you dont sneak the cylinder into battery it will lock up because now the ratchet is in the wrong position. Then you are now one round ahead. Not this one. it doesnt care. it just sneaks up to the ratchet and finishes her off. CLICK. It feels like a the whole thing is full of Butter. I made a new bolt that allows faster unlocking with the standard hammer plunger pin placement. What i have gathered here is on the 2 leg pawl arm you start cocking and the leverage changes because the flat top of the pawl arm is rotating the ratchet and continually getting lighter because as the angle changes in the ratchet it gains leverage and then changes back to less leverage as the second leg takes over and half way thru that it locks into place. So you feel it in the hammer as your cocking it. You start moving the hammer and it is tight and as you rotating backwards it lightens up then come almost to a stop and then you add more pressure to the hammer and then it just whips into battery. You can see it speed up when the second legs comes into play. Sorry to be so long winded but there is a reason it feels that way. This one leg version just sweeps in to the next chamber without ever feeling like it needed more tension. Super smooth. If thru out all the testing i will do in the next week or so yeilds no problems, i will be changing my ratchet print. Darn. Now i gotta make me a 32-20. Since this 357 mag version seemed so pissed off and bucked like a mule, i have decided not the see if a 500 Linebaugh will fit. Happy Trails and Hot Lead BaaaaBy. |
