Cougar is done!

The Cougar is done! Colt Python Barrel on a Ruger 6. Satin bead blast and polished small parts! A classic from the past and I am sure this customer will be pleased!

Bowen rear...millet front

So that is a GP with a new barrel right?

Security 6

Oh.

I know a lot of the purists hate these, but I'M LOVIN' IT!!! Nicely done. :wink:

Does the cylinder lock at the front as well as the rear?

BTW: It looks great.

Just the rear but a crane ball could be added

That turned out Sweet! No doubt the owner will be very pleased . I've handled a couple of SS Cougars but never a blued one.

Thanks for sharing.

I handled a few blonde and brunette Cougars in my younger years - but never one made from steel

Had a couple of those kind of cougars myself when I was young also, but that Ruger, Colt cougar is a fine piece of work the customer will be truly happy with it.

It's beautiful. I'd love to do that to my Security Six.

Questions:

1: Do you need to alter the frame of the Security Six to fit the barrel, or do the threads just match?
2: Does the customer need to supply the barrels, or do you have a few already?
3: Can the finish be the Colt style high gloss blue for the entire gun?

That is very nice work there!

I cut off the old barrel tenon and cut a new shank and threads

No alteration to the ruger

I don't know if the two metals would polish out the same. What may look better is to nitre blue to small parts

Wow is that a sweet looking iron. One of those in 4 inch to me would be a dandy carry gun!

I'm usually "blue gun averse," but the satin black on that thing is gorgeous.

Absolutely Beautiful Revolver. I would be very proud to own that. Great work. Just Awsome.

Very stylish lines. I bet it shoots as good as it looks too.

The barrel to frame alignment is truly "fit" it looks as if it were meant to be !

Some of the early conversions left a bit to be desired in this area.

My hat is of to you sir !!!

Yes this looks really beautiful I remember people putting Colt Python barrels on S&W s They looked a little weird.
I want a range report. If you can't do it tell the new owner to send me one. :lol:

If they were done correctly, they looked pretty good IMO. Here's one that Huntington did -- a "Smython"
