Security Sixes before and after

[RoninPA]

Well, it may be sacrilegious to do what I did here. However, these guns were in dire need of a facelift.

BEFORE (150- s/n)

AFTER

BEFORE (154-s/n)

AFTER

BOTH TOGETHER

The 150- was Cerakoted "Wilson Gray" and the 154- was Cerakoted "Sniper Gray". I completely dismantled both guns and blasted everything that needed coated with 120 grit Aluminum Oxide. I jeweled the hammer and trigger on the one but went with polished bare metal (front and rear sight, hammer and trigger) on the other. I cleaned and polished the hammer strut and the hammer and sear mating surfaces. I haven't changed any springs yet. For the 150- gun I have some zebrawood grips coming that should look pretty good.

I like the top gun best--like those older looking grips too

 

[T.A. WORKMAN]

I like what you done to both guns!!
Excellent pair of shooters that are also lookers.

Nice job, they BOTH look good.............

 

[Soapman]

Wish I had one for you to redo.

 

[Skalkaho Slim]

Thought they were park'd at first.

Those are all business!

 

[Rainman]

Really brought those used guns back to life! Good firearms "rescue".

1+ to what americal said. The grips on the top gun really make the whole package look sharp.

Great job! Please post pics after you install the zebrawood grips.

I see you picked up that Security Six off Gunbroker, the 2nd one! I tried to trade the guy an Ishapore Enfield even up for it but we were a few bucks apart because he wanted some cash too, so I didn't go for it....... I'm glad it found a good home, looks great!

 

[RugerHound]

Sacrilege or not.. You gave two rough guns new life. Can't find a thing wrong with that! Nice work!

 

[Ale-8(1)]

Really like the grey finishes.

Not in love with the "jewelled" look, but that's just a personal thing.

Very nice work, and a great way to salvage some "experienced" guns.

Anxious to see the new grip panels.

 

[rammerjammer]

Those revolvers look great

 

[NorEaster]

Not sacrilege at all! You saved them and made them look bad @$$ to boot!

 

[mattsbox99]

I've got a Security Six that is a candidate for that. The top one looks really good. I'd probably not jewel the hammer and trigger though.

 

[RoninPA]

OK, here is the low back with the zebrawood grips:

 

[glockman99]

Who made the grips for this gun? I like those grips!

 

[Hylander]

Those look Awsome 8)

Is the Cericoat something one can do themselves or a gunsmith thing.

I wish I had seen this before I dropped off my SBH for a Reblue

 

[toysoldier]

Those are very good-looking revolvers. Bluing is pretty, but the modern finishes are very practical.

I picked up a Police Service-Six .38 a few years ago. I believe it is stainless, but has a flat black finish and black Hogue Monogrip. It's not a work of art, but it has an appearance that is all business. I'm thinking of doing a finish like that on a Remington 121 that has significant cosmetic problems.

Dann, I'll have to see if I can remember where I got them. I'll pull them off and see what might be inside that might ID them. I think I might have found them on eBay or GunBroker a year or so ago.

You can do Cerakote yourself if you have all the equipment (air compressor, blasting cabinet, air brush, curing oven, etc.) You have to completelty disassemble the gun, blast the gun (I use 120 grit Aluminum Oxide) then completely degrease, let dry, mix the coating (it's 2 part), spray, let dry for a half hour, then cure at 250F for 2 hours or so. You you can let it air cure (only takes about 5-7 days for it to become fully cured this way). I built a curing oven from and old gun cabinet, that way the parts are suspended and don't touch anything while curing.

+1, No sacrilege there, more like a Resurrection.
You took a couple of real rats and turned them into art.
Personally I really like the jeweled hammer and trigger, nice.

[Geezer]

Me, too. I went for the all black look.

 

[Baldy]

I think you done a fine job. Your grand kids will say you was a genius for doing that to them old revolvers. After all they will be shooting them to. :lol:

 

[Skalkaho Slim]

That looks fantastic!

 

[Biggfoot44]

The Ceracoat is fine. But the second revolver's Jordan grips in the "before" are better than those in the "after".
