I recently came into possession of a NMBH in .357 and a NM Single Six. Both are in pretty darn good shape and I like all of them except the aluminum grip frames. I'm quite sure anodized aluminum is serviceable but it ain't blued steel.
I would love to replace them with steel even if I have to have the guns reblued. If I remember correctly, I can buy new steel grip frames which is one resolution but if I'm going to all this trouble (especially the reblueing part) why not have #5 type grip frames made (either from scratch or modify new grip frames)?
My question is: Does anyone have dimensions, measurements, or other information that would be required to make a #5 grip frame? Also, I seem to remember reading that Elmer's #5 was two piece. Is this correct?
If this information is available and if grip frames could be made available, would other be interested?
