- Thread starter Joey
- Start date
I like it, looks awesome!
OP
Thanks man. wouldn't need one, would you?!!!!
OP
The box is finished except for some details I am going to add.
I plan on taking this
A 4 inch ss disc, 1/8 " thick, polishing it then stipple it with a punch. And then take this.
Courtesy of Randyzz, who is going to flatten it and smooth the back, paint it black, which I have been researching how to paint brass. and attach it and the disc to the box. It will then be a Ruger BH medallion.. That's the plan, anywho.

Joey...invest some time and judicious file work and make it look like this. I'd give it a "10" on the Cool Factor Scale.
P.S. I had one of those Ruger Phoenix belt buckles back in the '70s. But wore it and the lock work on a Single Six out in about 10 years.

Something like this? My first attempt. I am going to do the next one out of aluminum. I learned a lot on this one. Like I need to polish the disk before I etch it!
OP
Almost finished. All I lack is the aluma black and the stippling. This is aluminum. Easier to work with and lighter.
OP
Attempt 2. Still some work to do.
OP
Thanks, man. And got it all for a whopping $175.00!!
