Nothing too extreme. Square butt made into a round butt and custom grips made.

How’s this? It’s had the kitchen sink thrown at it and locks up like a FA!

Those are really interesting designs. I like that

 

[Hondo44]

That's nice!

My dad wanted his 44 Redhawk shortened from 5 1/2" to 4 1/2" (removed instruction manual from barrel but left Ruger address and Reg mark in circle).

Re-used original sight with replaceable blades:

Blade removed to show hidden attachment screws; two titanium 2-56 flathead torx screws:

Wow man youre talented to be able to do all that

I feeling those sights. Are those micarta stocks?

They are custom ebony grip panels with slight palm swell to fill the hand.

The rear sight is a Bowen 0.090” with factory front sight.

Bowen makes such great sights

Pintos are nice; but tricolor paints are much more rare.

I'd love details in this one. Particularly the finishes involved. Nice look.

Woah who replaced the barrel for ya?! Looks amazing

Thank you, if I can't do it, it doesn't get done. It wasn't that difficult. It's actually a friend's gun, he always wanted a ribbed barrel and fluted cylinder on his very 1st 44 Mag from 1961. Carried it every hunting season and back packing over the decades. Had little blue finish left on it.

-Started with a Mod 29 8 3/8" barrel. Cut off the ejector rod housing and contoured the bottom of the barrel to round.
-Turned off the S&W thread which shortened the barrel to about 7 1/4", and cut Ruger threads. When I screwed it into the frame I had to remove a little from the front surface face of the frame so the barrel rib wasn't encroaching into the bevel of the top front corner of the frame.
-Drilled and tapped the hole for the Ruger single action ejector rod housing screw.
- Found the fluted cyl on Gunbroker from the 5 1/2" SBH.
-Polished it to a high gloss all ready for him to send back to Ruger for bluing.

He never did. That was about 8 years ago. He shoots it, cleans it once in awhile and it still looks the same. Never polished it and it never rusted. The frame looks wavy but it's just the bad photography. As well as what looks like the ridges around the cyl pin collar; they don't exist.

357s converted to 45 Colt

 

[RevolverTelevision]

Who did the conversation to 45 colt? Bowen? That case color hardening is amazing!

 

[Big Bore]

DIY makeover. Reamed the throats, base pin, reshaped and hand fit a brass grip frame, handmade grip panels, action/trigger job.

 

[RevolverTelevision]

That brass frame 45 is slick

Needsmostuff,
Pintos are nice; but tricolor paints are much more rare.

No paint involved on any of my guns. All metal finishes. Photo makes that one look a tad greener than it really is. They are actually varying levels of browning.
Here is a couple more done in the same style.

All of these were done to get rid of the HORRENDOUS faux case color garbage.
45 looked like this before.
