A while back I posted pics of my tribute sixguns, one of those being a 7.5" Flattop which is my tribute to my all-time favorite gunwriter and sixgunner Skeeter Skelton. At the time, the sixgun wore an old set of factory stocks that I had fit to the gripframe after polishing off the anodizing. While serviceable, they just didn't look 'right'. Skeeter had made himself a set of nicely figured walnut stocks that he used on his 44, and I felt this sixgun deserved something similar. Good friend Dick 'Sixshot' Thompson came to the rescue and I just received a very nice set of walnut stocks for my old Flattop. I think that these are just what this classic old sixgun needed!  |

That great revolver deserves those fancy grips, Mike. Dick sure has plenty of talents.

Just something special about those old Flattops... Grips from a good friend makes this one that much more special..  |

That is nice! The dark would and nice grain really sets off the grip frame.

Great gun, great grips, and great photo. The walnut really contrasts nicely against the polished gripframe. -Lee www.singleactions.com |
