Started a new Single Six project gun this last week. Started with a 50th Anniversary and replaced the ejector housing with a steel model. I bought a in
the white 4140 steel XR3-RED Short Frame and fitted it to cylinder frame. Sunday I ordered a set of Moose Gunfighter grip panels from Patrick Grashorn and will fit them and the frame together for a flawless fit before the gun gets finished. This afternoon I ordered a four click three position hammer and trigger kit made by Ron Powers. I've used this kit before on the Blackhawk series a couple of times and was very satisfied. The kit comes with a harden hammer and trigger that are CNC produced and the sears are match fit to each other and produce a very crisp and clean breaking trigger. Also included in the kit are a series of Wolff springs if you choose to use them. I'll use the lighter trigger spring but keep the factory OEM hammer strut spring to keep a faster lock time. After installation of the kit the cylinder also lines up with the ejector rod for ejecting spent cases. When I was matching the two frames together I also polished down the burr on the roll engraving on the barrel. My first intention was to remove it altogether but after getting it down to the barrel smooth it didnt look so bad plus I like the idea of the 50th Anniversary logo still being there. After I get all this taken care of I'm going to build a drift adjustable dovetail front sight and install it. Then off to the gunsmith for final polishing, bluing, and CCH. This is the first time I've taken a Single Six this far and I'm getting pretty excited to see it finished. Not much to look at yet but I will post pictures as it goes.
