Engraved ROA

[TENFAN]

For those following along, I have always wanted a Ruger Old Army that David Clements converted to a 5 shot .50 caliber. Since he quit making them due to supply issues and now with his retirement my chances were getting slimmer and slimmer to ever acquire one. Well earlier this year I found one that hadn’t been shot much and it was in the exact configuration I would have had built myself. It has a 6 1/2” octagon barrel but it had some butt ugly ill fitting grips on it. I called David to ask a few questions about it and sent him a picture and the first words out of his mouth were “I did not put those stocks on it!” I sent it to Chig’s Grips for some fantastic Desert Ironwood and Since this is my “Grail” gun I wanted to make it more special so I sent it off to Bobby Tyler back in July to have it engraved. I got the call today that it has been completed and was ready to come home!

I'm not into engraved guns usually, but that one is  very nicely done.

 

[TATERARK]

I agree. That looks great. Congratulations

Very tasteful engraving. Not over done. I like it. Not much there that says it is a ROA any more though. Different barrel, different grip frame, and different caliber . That said, still a very nice revolver!!! A keeper.

I think it came out great too! I talked it over with Bobby and told him what my budget was and that I wanted scroll and did not want it to be gaudy. They knocked it out of the park!

You got yourself something right there. My goodness I love it. I can close my eyes and smell the smoke when it goes off. I have some plastic guns and carried them for almost my entire carrier but I just really love the elegance of steel.

Very nice and the grips are Outstanding!!

Thanks! I have 3 sets of Chig’s grips in Desert Ironwood and they are all spectacular and his prices for hand fitted grips can’t be beat

 

[TENFAN]

It just arrived in the mail and it is more spectacular in person! If it wasn’t raining I would get some more pics
