Thanks Ron - glad to get a nod of approval from an expert. I didn't mean to sound too flippant about the prep & application process. It's certainly not a can of Krylon. Like any finish the devil is in the prep and a good hand with the sprayer helps. I use a Paasche air brush and it has...

Yes it's Cerakote. I do mine myself but I've surfed around the 'ol interweb and have seen some pricing on websites of professional applicators. It costs less than a quality bluing or plating job and it opens up a lot of possibilities in colors, patterns and design. It usually doesn't appeal...

Thanks for the nice comments folks. Thread got off to a rocky start but recovered. I appreciate the kindness. I know this look is not everybody's cup of tea and thankfully we have choices in what we like and we don't all have to like the same stuff. I happen to like some pinto looks (some I...

OK greenmtnguy - I made this one just for you. :mrgreen:

Hey Arisin Wind - nice to see that pretty Redhawk again! Yes - there's a lot in common isn't there?

That is a good question....I dunno. I did this to try out the idea and test my abilities in Cerakote. I just got into Cerakote last year and I like working with it so this was a good chance to see if I could pull off a contrast. I don't see any reason not to shoot it except for the inevitable...

Haha! An early Happy Birthday wish for you too!

Thanks Thel. The one pictured below was bead blasted and the accents polished so that's along the lines of what you suggest. I like this look a lot too. I made this one for a buddy out in MO and did some horse tradin' for something he had that I took a fancy to. The fit on these grips is...

The medallions were an option from Eagle. These are terrific grips but spendy. I got them a couple of years ago and it took around 6 months for them to finally ship as I recall and the cost was well north of $100. They remind me of the S&W Target stocks I love on my old N and K frame revolvers.

I see. This is how we play here, huh?

Here's the latest "Frankenruger" to emerge from my overactive imagination. Started life as a simple Model 1751 in 38 Special but I re-chambered it to 357 Magnum, slab sided the barrel to remove the laser etched "rollmarks" (and 'cause I like slab sided barrels) and had a buddy engrave it on his...

That's really sweet! Nice job on the photos too.

Thanks for the welcome TucsonDirt! Looks like good Rugering here too.

Haha! Exactly! Unless you can charge what the big names fetch there's no money in it. And I bet the big names aren't exactly getting getting rich at it either.

Thanks! Thats a favorite for sure. Love the birdsheads!
