She’s ALMOST home.

Paige Tyler sent me a few photos of my NM Flattop 44 Special. It's had an accuracy package, action job, Belt Mountain base pin, Fermin's front sight, and color case hardening. The grips are from Chig's Grips and are at home. I hope to pick it up on Friday. I'll update with a photo with the grips when I get them back on.

That is a nice looking sixgun

Looking good there!

That's a beauty… I can feel your anticipation!

Wow, he's getting it done faster than I'd have guessed. I'm sure not fast enough for you though. Lol

That's beautiful

I didn't really document when he took it. I left it with him at a gun show in Ft Worth. It's been pretty close to 6 months. I should have it tomorrow.

Dram40A1, how long did it take waiting in line for you to get your revolver worked on? How long have they been working on it?
Thank you.

I left it with him on 10-29-22. I got the phone call 4-19-23 once it was complete. It didn't sit long before they started on it.

 

[Bear Paw Jack]

Thank you.

Yesterday you said you should have it tomorrow. Today is yesterday's tomorrow. Do you have it yet?

I do. Picked it up on the way home from work. Just walked in the door with it.

I think I'm going to get some lighter grips fit it. These are Chig's Grips Spalted maple.

I'm not so sure I know how to feel about this. I did not request nor approve the engraving. I'm leaning towards disappointment right now. Other than that, this thing is amazing.

Feel good. From what I understand most custom (and factory) put their John Henry somewhere. That doesn't look bad at all IMHO. Nicely done. Ruger on the other hand, adds a 'beautiful' warning label on their guns -- which I highly disaprove! , but the Ruger on the side of the frame doesn't bother me at all. Just go out and shoot it -- and really enjoy trying to wear it out .

The barrel marking is a good thing. You spent all that money to have professional work done. The marking is the proof that will really enhance the gun's value. Without it, it's like an unsigned painting.

It's an attractive style marking and I'd feel good about it.
