Color Case Hardened Single-Six

[jussbad]

Juss got this one finished up. When I got the color cased frame back and started to put the barrel in I could not help but think about Gunslinger Hank and how he loved the short barreled Single-Sixes. I think he would approve of this one. RIP Hank. Here ya go.

That is a beauty for sure, great case color job. Who did it?

Very nice one there! Hank would surely like it!

Now all you have to do is swap out the grip frame and grips for a brass birds head with ivories and you have Hanks favorite "22 shortie" as he liked to call it! Miss the phone calls and visits with him and Susie. I would send some ivory down to Hank and Susie would send me the nicest noted back along with the check claiming to thank me because now she got another piece of jewelry!

Now that's a gun that Ruger should have made. Very nice, and as nice as that gun looks those grips belong on it.

Very nice looking gun, I agree with above, Ruger should have made one like that, also those grips are superb!

Nice looking gun!

very nice, it looks 'awesome' a bit of "detail" ( TLC) to that rear sight and she would be "perfect"..........

Splitz - These are cabinet knobs I ordered special (with the SR Logo and the ones with the Black Eagles) from a provider off Ebay. If you search Ruger cabinet knobs you will see the ones that they are currently selling (with the new logo) ( I very much dislike the new logo). I've had these for several years and use them on a bunch of stuff.

44 version of it with Turnbull colors. Old flat tops are great with cc on the main frame.

Since my chances of owning one of the eight color case hardened .357 flattops are slim and none, I have given consideration to having one done. Sure are Purdy!!!

Prettiest set of stag grips I've ever seen! Nice looking ruger too! ---bedrockfred

Thank you all for the comments. I really like the way this single-six turned out. Yes, bedrockfred I like the grips too. By far one of the priciest pair of stags I've purchased so far. But, how often do you see them like this? Thanks again to all.
