Early Christmas

[Blazenet]

Just back from Powers Metal Works. This one started life as a single seven. John fit the supplied Bisley grip frame, hammer and trigger. He supplied a new oversized 6 shot 25-20 cylinder, 5.5" banded barrel and the Belt mountain base pin. Came out as well as expected... fit, finish and trigger is excellent.

That's a pretty unique conversion!

I did a .32 H&R/327 Mag Old Model single six with a 32-20 as a convertible cyl.

That's a great looking revolver and bet it shoots as good as it looks

 

[Hondo44]

Thanks! It does, with all three cartridges with three different loads. Of course the 32-20 requires a deep seated bullet.

This one started life as a .32 H&R Mag. Converted to .218 BEE. I wanted a .25-20 but couldn't find a .25 cal barrel. So I shortened the .218 case (which is actually .22 cal in a necked down 25-20 case). It's basically a shortened .218 Bee.

Loading chute enlarged slightly for larger .25-20 case rims. Bisley hammer with modified spur, Stainless Steel grip frame, steel ejector rod housing, SBH grooved trigger with the web on the back removed, Colt ejector rod, and free-spin cylinder pawl for ease of aligning the chambers with the loading gate.

How does that 25-20 shoot? Beautiful gun. Expensive ammo!

Nice! I picked up this Single-Seven in .327 Federal Magnum (NIB, with just the slightest turn ring) a couple of months ago… still haven't taken it to the range. I have a range day scheduled for the 26th with my son so he can fire his Christmas presents (he doesn't know about them yet). He's getting a Glock 19 and a Savage Axis XP in 6.5 Creedmoor to start rebuilding his collection after a house fire destroyed everything last January. He lost more than a dozen weapons, three suppressors and several thousand rounds of ammunition.

That gun cries out for custom grips to make it into an heirloom!
