Custom Wheelgun....but not a ruger

Dont get to build many PPC type guns anymore so I wanted to share this one.
All to the customers specs.

Slab side bull from a blank, 11 degree recessed crown, aluminum underlug, trigger work, crane ball, and more. This was not the half @#$ drop in bulls alot of people do. Radius of the barrel perfectly matches the frame.

Lug is made from bar stock

wouldnt be an issue to do one on a ruger!

How about extending the radius under the top strap and where the crane meets the frame out to the end of the barrel. Just my opinion.

Then it wouldn't be a slab side...it's what the customer wanted...I can do yours however you want...only limit is your wallet

Nice. Bet it's a shooter.

Very, very nice! Please show us more.
Thanks, BB

I didn't mean to round the whole barrel, just to extend a small radius much the way we do with a Bo-Mar rear sight on a 1911, I think it could still be considered a slab side.



I was in no way diminishing your work and I am sure your customer is pleased.

Ok

Nice job

Very nice. When I have a full custom done, it will be a DA along those lines.

I'm curious... what was the reasoning for the aluminum underlug? Full length for aesthetics, aluminum for weight? or something else?

What was the base model/caliber?

357 mag

Aluminum was used for a couple reasons. This gun was built to hunt with for the customer. Aluminum should bounce less off shooting sticks. Also we didn't need all the weight of a stainless lug.

Other than that it's for looks

Thanks for the reply!

Now if you had just................

That looks to be an excellent shooter and very good work on you're part.

I would say job well done !!!
