Tulsa acquisition - pics

[bigbore45colt]

Here are some pictures of one of my Tulsa acquistions.

Ruger New Model 44 Special flat-top (Lipsey's), 4 5/8" special, with full Turnbull restoration treatment ("fluff and fold" as they call it ): cch treatment on the frame and hammer, charcoal bluing on the gripframe, ERH, cylinder and barrel. It's absolutely gorgeous and is crying for a set of custom grips, either stag, American Holly, or fancy walnut...I haven't decided. I've got a Barranti rig on order (hurry up, Mike ;D ) for it as well...

Enjoy!
