I don't beleive that is the correct tape, it should be the black Gorilla type 2 for that serial #. Other than that looks OK. LoL

It was not unusual to put a shoulder stock on a revolver. Remington had a revolving carbine back in the late 19th century. The concept is an old, sound one.
The execution looks strange. I only can guess the handlebar tape (or is that a steering wheel cover?) is there not to secure the gun to the stock but to cover whatever clamps are securing the grip frame to the stock. (I HOPE he didn't just stick the two together and wrap it up!)
Anyhow, that is not the weirdest thing I have seen done to an ROA. There is a Ruger Old Army in stainless with a Jeweled hammer and trigger and a red dot sight mounted on a rail on the top strap.

I'm sure under all that tape it looks just as good as this one. :roll: :roll:

Jimbo I like it! Gotta swap out the cylinder tho. ps
Just because one can, doesn't mean one should. I gotta wonder if the zinc screw eye and ring are period? Oh, and that rubber buttpad too.

I'd love to get the name of this "professional" so we can spread the word to NOT use their services.

Dang! That's another project to add to my list. Gotta start figuring how to do that to my Remington 1858.

And! At only $600 it's a steal. :shock: I'd feel like I was robbing the guy blind. :lol:

The guy to avoid is the one that ordered this conversion. I'd resever judgement on the smith until I saw what was under the wrap and heard the story. I wouldn't fault the smith for executing the customer's order under the customer's constraints. The question is how well he executed and we can't tell.

You know, the more I look at this, the more pathetic it is.
Nothing wrong with adding a stock, but take some freakin' pride in the thing! Tennis racket grip tape and a cheap eye hook?! Seriously?!
Wrap that grip up in some leather with some gut lacing. At least make it look good. :roll:

I'm willing to bet it was Bubba'ed with damage to the gripframe. ...Anyone? :shock: :shock:Iron Mike Golf said:

With the redhead butt pad I am sure it should be camo tape....

Wow, the best part is "Professionally assembled from quality parts" and the exhorbitant price tag.
