Fived OM Single Six

[sackpeterson]

Still looking at it myself, just got home from work. I worked on this maybe six months fabricating parts, then sent it to APW for hard chrome. Grips are mock ups, will be replaced.

This is a fived OM Single Six with Micro sights. Circa 1968, this is a birth year gun for me, my first custom revolver.

A nice piece, Sack. The plating looks nice, and the barrel band is classy. The grip frame, though... that threw me. So many of the ruger bisley frames and even the custom #5 gripframes look, well, wrong. That one is perfect, and so nice that I looked right past it the first 2 or 3 times I saw it. That is sweet... is that your own fabrication, or can us mere mortals access such a thing? I like that. A lot. I keep thinking of monkeying with my OM ss, but everytime I consider it I take it out and shoot it... and then I can't quit grinning long enough to part with it. I take it you're gonna fit it with , perhaps, STAG?

I built the grip assembly from a Ruger Bisley grip frame, and this involved sectioning it and reducing the height.

Its a doable project, I think provided you get your base gun cheap enough. Common advice there.

The Bisley frame to the OM S6 wasn't completely natural matchup, and my smith (APW) had to bail me out of a flaw I built into my piece. If I were to do it again, I could correct for that easy enough.

I'm pleased as punch. This hard chrome is a wonder, boy is it good looking.

This barrel band... it was a way to build some height into the front sight for use with this rear Micro.

Very impressive Sack......I really like the sights. So I assume stag for the final grips?

Very slick! Hard Chrome makes a lot of sense on a working gun. That is some tuff stuff.
