Here is a picture of my 357 max top strap compared to the welded up and contoured Harton 414SM.

David , Alan did weld up the front of the of the top strap to match the Hunter barrel. I assume it was a factory 41 mag hunter barrel. I didn’t build this, I bought it. I will post pics tomorrow compared to my factory 357 max. The load I used was a Winchester large rifle primer igniting 26 gr of AA1680 under a 265 gr WFN GC bullet. It is a fine hunting revolver.

Will the hammer be available to purchase or is it a factory install only?

This Forkin has been relisted for $500 less I think. Still expensive but so is waiting 4-5 years.

The threads don't match so the threaded portion along with crane lock are machined off. Start with as long a barrel as you can so you have plenty to work with.

I just can't warm up to the looks of a Super Redhawk as functional, durable and accurate as they are. But who doesn't love a new 41 Mag.

Anyone interested in some reasonable free range exotics should look in the Sonora Texas area. Burgeoning populations of Axis and plentiful blackbuck make meat and/or trophy hunting affordable. You can kill 3-4, maybe 5 exotics , and some pigs for what one high fence whitetail will cost. It’s great fun and no cold weather worries.

I don't know if it's the same exact material you have but a forum member sent me some fake ivory a year or so back and when i finished his grips all i did was sand it to 2000 grit and buff with some white compound. The faux ivory grips you did for me, Zane, turned out excellent. Curtis

I don't see it selling for a lot more than the $3200. It would be a fine 5 shot 45 colt.

I bought a couple of these from Bobby including this 45 mentioned in the article.
"I’ve never owned a .45 Colt sixgun I didn’t like, and still own all but two of them. My favorite everyday shootin’ gun is a 4 ¾" Cimarron with their high grade custom case hardened frame and deluxe bluing. As of today it has 6236 rounds through it and shoots great. Never have had a problem with it. It looks great, feels great, and pokes 255-260 gr. SWC’s at 950 fps down range in fine style."
I also bought a very nice 7 1/2" 32-20 Cimarron from the collection with beautiful stag grips.

As most of you know I travel extensively with work and live on project so when I buy guns, it’s usually a while before I get by and pick them up. I had to make a business trip that brought me close to my LGS so I ducked in to do some paperwork. This trip I had six waiting, some trades, some purchases. I’m still on the road and I’ll get back to you on details. The group includes a Harton 10mm from Collectors, a beautifully done Harton Bearcat shopkeeper, a very elegant Stroh 32 Mag, a 10 1/2” Max, a John Powers reworked 454 Ruger Bisley and one of Terry Murdach’s Cimarron guns from Bobby Tyler. I think its time to sell off a few duplicates and make room in the safe.
