My first .45 Bisley conversion, spalted maple, ivory sight, shortened recrowned barrel, removed barrel warning, remounted front sight.

I did the work myself at home. Fun project

.32 HR mag Single Six Vaquero. I milled the top strap & installed adjustable rear sight, reshaped and rewelded the grip frame, added lanyard loop and made the walnut stocks. I did all but the welding myself at home.

The barrel length topic sucked me into posting this one. It came to me with a chromed grip frame (kind of a satin nickel), an aluminum ERH and a big heat blister on the barrel where a stud was welded/soldered into the ERH screw hole. Found a Ruger steel ERH and a clean XR-3 grip frame. Sent the grip frame to Grashorn Gunworks to have elk horn stocks fitted and while it was gone had Frank Glenn (Accuracy Unlimited) cut the barrel down to 4-5/8" and re-install the factory front sight. He then blued the whole thing to clean up the appearance. When all the repaired and refinished parts were put together it looked like this:

I have another 6-1/2" Flat-top 44 Blackhawk which will remain original but this one sure pleases me. It's a version Ruger should have offered back before the SBH and the NM came along.

Wish I had a better picture and the only character here might be me. This started off as a standard 45 Colt Blackhawk. I traded a grip frame and hammer for the Bisley ones and a set of stags that I picked up here on the forum finished it off. It is interesting because it is a NM with a non-billboard barrel and OM recessed cylinder. It had a problem when I first bought it, but a weekend with Harton and I had it back. It has become my favorite packing pistol. The only thing shot with it so far, was a rattlesnake coiled on a step out at the ranch.

Gotta love them old Colts! Nice Gun.

.45 Colt on top, single six on bottom. I'd like to have one in every caliber, but some they don't make, and some I can't afford. don't know if they qualify as having "character" or "history", but I kinda like 'em

[SC-REBEL]

Some great looking guns and interesting history.

 

[6GUNSONLY]

This one has some character marks. It's a favorite knockabout gun. Really tight lockup and slick action.

 

[powder smoke]

JW nice one! ps

 

[mad-jack]

This is my Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 Mag

Because of the strict gun control laws in Germany it´s my only Ruger.
