41Mag. shortie

[oldies]

41Mag. 3 screw.

 

[contender]

Very nice!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Robb Barnes]

What length is the barrel on that little cannon?

 

[oldies]

3.5" brl. Pull area on the cylinder pin is non existent. Metal was removed on the
back of the ejector as well. Gives the empty cartridges a bump is about all. If
memory serves me right, a bulge in the barrel made it necessary to go to that
length.

 

[Don Lovel]

sweet ! I bet it shoots good with 175gr Winchester Silvertips

 

[Robb Barnes]

What a great little gun in a great caliber. The only thing i would change for me would be to slide one of David Clements old model bisley spurred hammers onto it just so my busted up thumb can reach it easier. You know who to contact if it ever needs a new home. ME!

 

[Tradhunter]

That's nice!!!

 

[oldies]

Thanks for the replies. Don't think it's going anywhere. Loads will indeed include silver tips
with kieth style semi-wad cutters as well.

 

[Robb Barnes]

Well I don't blame you but remember if it needs a new home call me.

 

[princeout]

That's a neat little gun! I like that a lot!

[WendyZXZ]

Very nice little Ruger there!

 

[SAJohn]

I would install a super blackhawk hammer on it.

 

[oldies]

Yeah, also a Bisley hammer which Power Custom makes is an option.

 

[Robb Barnes]

Or the Clements version of the old model bisley hammer on another shortie 41.

 

[oldies]

Outstanding! Haven't seen that one.

 

[Robb Barnes]

Another shortie 41 found its way here over the holidays.

I have always thought the " 41 Magnum has a ugly beauty," if y'all know what I mean.

 

[oldies]

Great work on the frame.

 

[Robb Barnes]

Actually I cheated. That gun is a Texas Longhorn Arms Border Special and like all TLA guns it has the loading gate on the left side.

 

[oldies]

Got me there... I didn't look close enough at all. Ej. sleeve, upside down bolt stops, no loading gate. Coffee, coffee. Beautiful gun.

 

[Robb Barnes]

I know the first time I saw a TLA I just kind of scratched my head about the mirror image part of it as compared to a Ruger as well. I stuck a picture of the Vaquero style gun and the long barrel target version of the gun all with the same 300 serial number in the collectors section.

 

[oldies]

Wonder what happened to that tooling? Am thinking that resurrecting any type of
3 screw technology would be a huge chore.

 

[Robb Barnes]

If any knows what happened to the tooling it would be Steve Webb aka Cubrock.

Sweet 41 shorties, guys!

OP (oldies): is yours a conversion of a flattop 357 or 44 mag? I don't recall a 41 mag 3-screw flattop...

Oh, and there's no harm is posting more pictures of those. I'd love to see them at all angles, especially the left side showing the ejector rod, etc...

 

[oldies]

It came to me as a 41. I just milled down the receiver flat to emulate the flattop.

 

[dougader]

It's a real beaut!
