About a year ago I posted somewhere in this forum that I was interested in a brass base pin. Did not know that it had already been mastered by someone on here.

"Over on the "other" Ruger forum, our old buddy iowegan (eye-oh-wee-jan) modified the base pin for a single-action by fabricating a front end for the pin out of brass and then wedding the two pieces together. When the pin's in place all you see is the brass front on the pin. Very cool.
Of course that guy could drill and tap a human hair for a cross pin and then fab the pin itself.
:ROFLMAO: "
Well, Ale wasn't lying. Our friend Iowegan made this pin for me and another gorgeous brass present that I will treasure forever.
This base pin was going in another 45 of mine, and it still may. Right now it is "on loan" to this CCH 45.
I am thinking that if I put it on the other 45 it MAY be brass overload with the RW brass frame that is being made for it.
In the mean time.....
Oh, and yes, the wood doesn't look right lol. It is just sitting in place. I have to make the relief cuts in the rear of the panels so they fit.
