I would have prefered the 4 5/8" but the 5.5 is growing on me. Those are awesome!! Joe

I can see why, that is beautiful! Joe

I'm trying to figure out the picture thing, I'll post pics of before and after when Bobby starts accepting new work. Thanks, Joe

I bought a 44Mag Original Vaquero today. It is 5.5 inch Blued/CC. The gun is unfired. The CC had light surface rust but no pitting. I cleaned with CLP and copper wool. The CC is a brown color where the light rust was. Not complaining though, I picked it up for $350 private sale. It was exactly...

I have to second on the Simply Rugged Holsters. Rob Leahy makes an excellent holster at a great price. I just recently bought the Silver Dollar Pancake holster and a new gun belt for my S&W 60-4. The quality and price was simply amazing. The belt and holster cost me about $120, I consider this...

That's a very generous offer from Contender. If I was in your place, an offer like this would be VERY hard to pass up. Good luck in your search. Joe

Do not shy away from SS grip frame if thats all you can find, they can be made to match made to mach by a proper gunsmith

Have the throat diameter checked on each chamber. A lot of Rugers in 45 Colt had/have undersized throats that choke the diameter of the bullet down to a smaller diameter than the bore. This can be cured easily by opening up the cylinder throats. Usually not too expensive and will make a huge...

My vote is the cerakote. I have had it applied to several firearms and it has held up to more than it should have. My beater AR15 had FDE cerakote 7 years ago. I have abused the heck out of this rifle and the finish looks like new with a little cleaning. No chipping, pealing or anything else...

That's AWESOME!!

Very Nice!!

Bear Paw Jack, The gun belongs to friend of mine who is in bad health. He offered the Vaquero and Remington ammo to me at a price of $450 total. Joe

Bear Paw Jack I am thinking the same, I can get a 1K case of 44spc ammo for and additional $150. I think it is a no brainer at that offer, just curious what the masses say. I really like the Vaqueros. I will probably go that route, just not positive. I do like the fixed sight guns.

I recently came into possession of a Winchester model 94 Trapper in 30WCF. It is early 1980's vintage. I am considering a 44 Spec BH, A 45 Colt BH and a 44mag 5.5 in Original Vaquero. I can get the Vaquero for around $300. It is unfired but has some very minor surface rust on the Faux CCH, no...

Nice!!
