Sent you a PM. I will take it w/o grips providing you will ship it through an FFL and I will pay your FFL fees. I have checked with 3 LGS and none will accept a firearm from a non-FFL holder.

Very sage advice, contender. Thanks ChiefTJS for responding. I definitely would not jump on the project before talking to a quaified pistolsmith. I'm looking into the advice stage right now.

I'm thinking about buying a Blackhawk .357/9mm convertible. I recently sold my wore out .38 Super Colt and wound up with a lot of .38 Super ammo and brass. I am wondering if the 9mm cylinder is strong enough to handle the .38 Super. Chamber pressures are very close for 9mm, .38 Super, .38...

I found the grip maker----Lone Star. Got to looking in my Ruger bookmarks. Still looking for a set of black micarta bird head's grips for my single 7 shopkeeper.

Those are beautiful grips. Would you share the maker and his contact information?

I wonder when Ruger will start shipping them to dealers. I've never been much of a Ruger long gun fan except for the # 1's and I have had SS's and BH's since they first came out. Guess I will mosey by my LGS tomorrow and see if I can put one on order (for the kid in me).

Don't know if this link has been posted, but the first train robbery was not in the Old West, but in Indiana. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-reno-brothers-carry-out-the-first-train-robbery-in-u-s-history

Thanks for the heads-up on Lone Star Grips. He makes some beautiful grips.

Been perusing the web for a set of black bird's head grips for my stainless Bearcat Shop Keeper to match my Single 7 Bird's Head black grips but have had no luck. Can anyone help me out to where I can find a pair?

Very nice piece. Who made the grips?

Yes. I told Randall I have a Single 7, Bird's Head. I just received the hammer/trigger kit with an optional Wolf 14 lb. hammer spring and Power modified transfer bar, but have not had a chance to do the install. I'm a little apprehensive because I've never taken down any of my Rugers that...

What brands on the .357 mag. brass?

I talked to Randall Powers today and ordered a Bisley hammer/Vequaro trigger kit to swap out the factory hammer/trigger for the .327 Bird'shead.

Al Story who owns Borchardt Rifle Company. He has a website, but will not reply to email. He will answer his phone. I would love to have one of his Borchardt 1878 rifles. They are a work of art. He is making a run of .44-40 cylinders now. He makes a lot of Ruger cylinders and parts...

I recently bought a Ruger Bisley .22 RF (bought a Bisley .44 Spec. about the same time) from Mike. The transaction was very smooth and Mike has great prices. I called in my cc # and wound up having a very nice conversation with Mike. Mike, is my "go to" online dealer now. I wished I had...
