Sorry, didn't mean to delete initial post. Trying to figure out how to get the pic from my home folder to forum.  |

So... Now you feel bad?  You've got to put the picture on one of the hosts like Photobucket and post a link. I use: photobucket.com/ |

Thanks, Axe. This will be my first custom. Really wanted a .475 or .500 Linebaugh, but figured that a .44 or .45 LC would be more practical. Chose the .44 because I already have a bunch of brass. BTW, I think John really outdid himself on those grips.  Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

Octagon, walnut, color case.........................3 of my favorite things.
Nice revolver, enjoy it........ hard to tell from the pic, is that an OM or a NM blocked?

That OM/NM question is a good one but I can tell you that John Gallagher's action job on a NM made a believer out of me... That OM click click clickety clack is cool in the house but thumb that OM hammer back in a tree stand with that buck of a lifetime coming close and the noise can be deafening!

Should be here Mon. or Tue. and I am very excited. Thanks for all the kind words. Steve, it is a new model with a blocked action. I guess now I will begin saving for one of the really big boomers.

Axe, I Know all about those clicks from a tree stand. (wish I didn't) but i love 'em any way. valley28, I know the waiting sucks, but trust me....it's worth it.
I already have an OM 357 at Hartons shop being converted to a 38-40/10mm, I'm starting to think I may need one at John's shop. I would have liked to have been in town when Robb and John were selling those barrels.
