45 Sheriff?

[xman9282]

Just out of curiosity. If I send you a bh 45 colt bird head for the sheriff treatment how much would it cost me. I have followed your work for a while and love every one of them Even bought a 1877 colt frame for my own bellygun but it doesn't fit

The original Colt 1877 Lightning grip frame won't fit a ruger without some work, lots probably and the NC Ordnance/GunGrips Brass Lightning grip frames almost always need some fitting....at least in my experience. As for the work, that'll be up to you. I'm no gunsmith.

Really cool. I like the old ragged look. Your projects always please.

True, and it would be out of proportion to the larger Ruger frame anyway. Best bet is a Cimarron Lightning.

Proper proportion, most authentic shape and made of steel. Can be blued, brass plated, or polished like stainless steel. Yes, the 3 rear trigger guard screw holes need a little relocating to fit the Ruger screw pattern.

This Ruger 22 Birdshead grip frame is going bye bye in favor of the Cimarron Lightning sized birdshead.
