I didn't think I was going to like it until I saw the photo. I kinda have a thing for MKIIs anyway and your gun is really sharp looking. Nice job.

Thanks and my apologies for not responding sooner (just now read your post).tplace":24nylyc9 said:gb6491, if it's not to late to ask, how did you seal off the bore?
Thanks!
Looks great by the way, I have a MK I that I want to park.

It's all steel.
Greg, that is one sharp MKII. The blacked out grips look great too. now, where can I get one?!? 8)
Thanks. I think bolt wear marks will vary gun to gun; this gun showed little to no wear on the exposed area of the bolt prior to the parkerizing and has continued so post parkerizing. I have other Mark IIs that show a lot of contact marks on the bolt and I'm sure, if parkerized, would soon show the same wear in short order.lovemyruger2010":24nylyc9 said:looks good. I don't know much about gun smithing but, I see you parkerised the bolt. Will that ware off over time since the bolt is always sliding back and forth during use?
You're welcome.tplace":2fsxdhl5 said:Thanks Greg!
Any recommendations on sand blasting hardware?

Thanks! The original hammer spur on the Model 60 used to pinch the web of my hand from time to time. I arrived at this shape by taking enough off that it wouldn't pinch me, then removing a little at time and reshaping the spur until I was satisfied that it was pretty snag resistant and still easily cocked single action. I'm real happy with it.deac45":1cf46u3o said:Greg, you do good work, sir! The contrast between the sight plane and the rest of the gun on that S&W looks great! Nice mod to the hammer spur, too.

Hi Dave,woodpuppy":3mbxbpsh said:Greg,
did that AMT trigger take much fitting? would one fit a MK I?
thanks,
