My latest project in pictures

[Chuck 100 yd]

Thought you would like to see my latest project in pictures.
Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt / .45 ACP 5 1/2"
I haven`t even fired this one yet. I bought it for a project to begin with.
I fitted a SS grip frame and Ejector housing assy. Replaced the springs with a Wolf reduced power kit and Made the grips.
I think it came out pretty fair. Possible BBQ gun for informal BBQ`s.




This one makes 12 .45`s in my collection. One can never have too many .45`s. :lol:
I was going to CCH the frame but chickened out. I can use that money for my next one that is already on order. Another .45 will make it an even number (13) maybe I needed to order two. I am not superstitious but what the heck, 14 would be nice. :wink:

I like the two tone look and those grips are beauties.

Nice!
I know what you mean about 45's. I passed the number 13 a while back. Couldn't wait to get # 14 but I'm not superstitious either.

That's beautiful work, Chuck! I love how your grips turned out--top quality job there.

I'm partial to the two-tone concept. Here's one I put together last year:

Next up for this one will be a Belt Mt. pin (in stainless, of course), maybe a Bowen rough country rear sight, and some homemade grips. If I can make some grips that look half as nice as yours, I'll be happy.

And you're right, you can never have too many .45s!

One fine looking revolver for sure. Good luck with it...

I hate two tone. I hate polish. :mrgreen:

Beautiful gun!

 

[Vernon Hayes]

Very nice!

One question what do you mean by CCH the frame? What is that?

 

[Chuck 100 yd]

Vernon, CCH is Color Case Hardening. Nice but expensive and it takes time to get it done by a pro.

 

[UmpquaCharlie]

Nice grips....

I went with the subdued 'pinto' look:
