Well in 2003 Alan was not to well known on the Ruger Forum.. He did some outstanding Custom Rugers for me.
At this point is when I introduced the rest of the Forum guys to him.
I have the the jacket and call Alan my friend. He lives about 10 miles from me.
What a geat guy.
He can build, fix, or make anything that you need.

Good god damn, that's a beautiful gun. I really like the re-done top strap and rear sight: I've been thinking about sending my single six to Alan for a while, thinking I might ask him to reproduce that look on that project.

How many .38 chambers can you fit into a gun that small? I suppose it'd be a 4 shooter? Or can you fit 5?

5 shooter. There have been more than a couple .41 special 5 shots squeezed into the ol single six frame, but I want mine to handle magnum pressures.
A 4 shot cylinder won't gain you anything, as it would put the bolt notches back directlly over the chambers.

The man is pretty amazing and just as nice to deal with.
