I REALLY like my Birdshead guns, all have been customized to my liking, I say do it!
Top-Bottom; Flattop 45C/ACP, Vaquero 45C/ACP, S7 327M, S6 22/Mag
Still on the fence, cut the flattop to 3.75", it is now 4.6". Cutting was the original plan, but now on the fence.
I have a couple more in progress that are getting the "chop, cut, rebuilt".
Top gun is a NM Single Six that I rodeo'd for the Bisley Grip Frame
The leftovers are getting a OM Magnum Barrel cut to 3.75" with the "Sturm Ruger Co." turned to the side.
Dovetail front sight, like the bottom gun.
Brass Birdshead Gripframe w/ the black mikarta grips that are there, not fit yet.
Bisley Hammer
The fluted cylinder is 22lr and it gets a fluted Magnum Cylinder too.
My thinking here was I wanted a blued/brass gun in compact version.
Bottom gun is a OM, "
WIN. .22 RF MAG CAL" gun that also received a companion 22 LR Cylinder.
Chopped from 6.5" to 3.75"
Brass Birdshead with "Sombrero" Trigger guard & gets a early well curved Trigger.
OM Bisley Hammer, My custom graft of NM top to OM bottom, looks just like the Single Six Bisley Hammer.
Dovetail Front Sight, original OM Rear drift sight.
It will get a combo Rust Blue, hand rubbed old time cowboy finish when done, Brass will be left to naturally patina.
Came across the Brass Birdshead/ Grips and decided to do a OM Cowboy Version. This build started out on my original WIN. .22 RF MAG CAL gun, but it's to good to chop, especially when I found a good donor.
Gun was aquired from member "Contender"(/\/\/\ above post) it was rough.
