CCH & Stainless 41 mag with Buckeye Burl Grips

[Aggie01]

Finally!

This one has been a long time wrapping up.
It first came home over a year ago.
Alan Harton put this together out of my parts bin.
The barrel and cylinder came out of my .41 Acusport Bisley that is now a .475.
The frame and hammer were from a SBH I hadn't shot in years.
The grip frame & trigger came off a SS SBH converted to a Bisley.
It took a while to find a block of wood (Ebay), and have it stabilized (River Ridge Products).
Then Carl Schultz agreed to rough them out for me and let me finish them.
Carl's idea of rough was actually pretty smooth. I took them from as sent to the pictured condition in less than 3 hours. And since I lost no time from drinking a beer and watching tv shows, it's a net loss of 0 hours for me. The finish is Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil.
I really believe the grips make the gun, and I think we got it right on this one.
I have another set of rough grips from the same block here for a 32 SS just like this 41.
Any fitting or finishing imperfections are the work of Aggie01, and not Carl Schultz.

I hope you guys like it half as much as I do.

Interesting. Never saw buckeye used as a grip material before. Understand the need to stabilize; naturally it is a very soft wood. But those grips look good enough to eat!
