Lost a right leg above the knee 2 years ago. But I am back in the shop. Anyone still building Ruger Bisley's?

I have a 1975 Ruger 77V 22-250 with tang safety that's well past barrel shot out - 4m +. Built a Reinhart-Fajen laminated birch thumbhole stock for it in the late 80's. Have the old Canjar push forward on the shoe "set trigger". This ole gal has accounted for a ton of crows turning into a black...

I am not renewing my ImageEvent hoster I've been paying for and it will deactivate August 2nd. I have gone back though all my gun build albums and changed them to gallery. You can view every gun build album I have there by going to ImageEvent and putting in my ID was1911 I would advise, and...

Has anyone here mounted an LPA SPR adjustable sight set on a P85 - or any other P model Ruger? I have a friend with one and with the factory fixed sights it really shoots low. I know lighter bullets shoot lower, and this is a semi-common prob with this gun. I just really need some info on...

1. Had plenty of room lengthwise with the rechambered to 45 Colt 357 Maximum cylinder. 2. The Mansen combo throating/chambering reamer had the recess cutting "ridge". 3. I wanted to close up the cylinder to frame ends in the frame window as much as possible (barrel only protrudes .015 from...

Is there only one set for sale?

Rare hardback 'Ruger No. 1' by Joe D. Clayton with inscription by the author. The book itself is in near mint condition and appears unread. The dust cover has two small, short splits at the top of the front. These are hard to fine and it is a great read on these fine Ruger classic rifles...

This thread is #2 (yep, I had put #3 in the heading - tried to change it but can't) Here is #3. 44 Mag with a companion 44 Spec cylinder. BTW, I am running out of room on my hoster (images that I can post) and I will soon be needing to clear some out for more project albums. Most of these...

Went back and finally finished my #2 (second) Ruger Bisley. Included a few build photos. Shilen Premium 4140 .451 barrel Ruger .357 MAXIMUM cylinder re-chambered/throated in 45 Colt with recessed case heads. BM O/S base pin (.257) Cylinder actual align bored to barrel axis within .0005 Barrel...

I recently posted a grip build for a MK II Govt Target on Rimfire central if anyone is interested.

I don't have the gun fully together yet but I have these pics of the blended screw/ejector housing and how I did my version of one Bowen did on a round barrel. 95% finished dressing the area and almost ready to blue. Blued and mounted.

Yes, here in Georgia we've always created the words that we needed that were found lacking in the "Queen's English". I'll have the grips finished and the gun all together soon - including the "blent" ejector housing & screw, and post some pics. Till then, imagine this set - only blued, and...

Used a .010 carbide ball - Haas machining center. I built this gun awhile back but just got around to finally getting the Shilen octagon barrel, cylinder, "blent" ejector housing & screw, and .257 Belt Mt pin blued. Parts still "in the oil". I came up on these grips and liked the wood ( got...

This book has, until I took these photos, never been out of the plastic wrap it has been encased in for years and stored in a flat drawer. It is the original 2001 private printing. The dust jacket and actual books front/rear covers are as they were the day it was printed and the book has never...
