Linebaugh Bisley 45colt

[airbman21]

I traded my completely stock 45lc 4 inch redhawk for this. Just thought I'd share.

Cut to Johns signature 4 6/8 barrel length with colt crown
Dovetailed and worked grips/frame
Linebaughs front sight
Free spin pawl
Belt mtn base pin
Full action/3# trigger job
Came with the exact holster I was going to buy at no extra cost

Looking for some antique ivory micarta or darkwood burl grips but they'll have to be fitted afterwords

That was a good trade. How does it shoot? Great photography!

Add a Bowen rear sight and shoot the snot out of it for years to come...

I was thinking the same thing fowler.

Yes sir. Had one for the redhawk too without scallops and strap. This feels even more secure With the back strap.

I have never owned another firearm that shoots so beautifully and so accurately. First two groups standing at 25 yards with an extra 325 buffalo bore thrown in as well

Good trade, great sixgun and great photos!

Thank you sir.
Request bisley grip makers and information on rough country vs target bowen rear sights

I traded my completely stock 45lc 4 inch redhawk for this.

If that's an even swap you should go to church and repent, cause you stole that thing!

Awesome trade!!

 

[airbman21]

Haha thank you sir. I've added a bowen target sight to the list. Would like to remove the roll mark on the cylinder as well as the ruger stamp on the barrel, and get some antique ivory micarta or very dark burl wood grips fitted to it.

Examples

Ivory

Ivory would match my knife.....

Nice

I prefer the target rear sight. It is all steel and PLENTY robust enough. Easily click adjustable with a small screwdriver. The Rough Country, which is zeroed and set in place with Loctited setscrews does not appeal to me.

These are American holly by CLC. Some of the most comfortable shooting grips I've ever used.

PS, group above shot at 50yds.

Interesting. Do you think that wood will be as durable as micarta? It is a carry gun. From researching it seems there is a great deal of color variation in holly grips as well. Might be best to have mr. Linebaugh do it since he dovetailed the frame as well. Thanks
