JUST GOT THE ABOVE PICTURED CUSTOM VAQUERO BISLEY 32 H&R MAG FROM A REPUTABLE FORUM MEMBER. PER THE MEMBER, THIS GUN STARTED LIFE AS A 4 5/8ths" SINGLE SIX VAQUERO IN 32 H&R MAG, THEN AT SOME POINT BEN FORKIN CONVERTED IT TO A BISLEY (HAMMER, TRIGGER & GRIP FRAME), SMOOTHED THE ACTION, FREE SPINNED THE CYLINDER AND REPLACED THE VAQUERO BARREL WITH A 5.5" 32 MAG BARREL OFF OF AN AS SINGLE SIX 32 MAG. THEN AT SOME POINT A 2 DOGS FS WAS ADDED AS WELL AS A BELT MOUNTAIN No. 5 STYLE BASE PIN (sans A SET SCREW) AND THE GUN WAS SENT TO TURNBULL TO HAVE THE FRAME AND HAMMER COLOR CASE HARDENED. CYLINDER THROATS ARE TIGHT (PROBABLY FACTORY ORIGINAL), SO I WILL SHOOT IT FORST AND THEN DECIDE IF I WILL SEND IT TO 2 DOGS FOR THROAT THERAPY. THE GUN CAME WITH FAUX IVORY GRIPS (WHITE PLASTIC) BUT I QUICKLY REPLACED THEM WITH SOME NICE ELK STAG GRIPS.
ALWAYS WANTED TO BUY A DRIFT ADJUSTABLE RS BISLEY SINGLE SIX IN 32 MAG AND THIS GUN LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE MORE THAN AN ACCEPTABLE REPLACEMENT FOR THAT "want". I REALLY LIKE THIS GUN AND AM HOPING AND PRAYING IT IS A SHOOTER. ALSO PICTURED ARE A COUPLE OF NICE HOLSTERS READY TO HOLSTER THIS REVOLVER AFIELD.

I found a nice one too but in .327! If I hadn't snagged a few other toys recently I would have been a contender for that one. |

SHOT THE CUSTOM BISLEY 32 YESTERDAY, SEEMED TO SHOOT FASTER AND COMPARABLY ACCURATE TO MY 6" 16-4 32 MAG. SHOT A LITTLE LOW (OFF A REST), WAS USING 95gr BULLETS, HEAVIER BULLETS MAY HELP, OR JUST A SLIGHT TWEAK ON THE FS, TO GET 'er HITTING HIGHER. NEXT WEEK I AM HOPING TO SHOOT THE BISLEY AND THE 16-4 "side by side".
