Might hafta' talk to him if I decide to KEEP my most recent "Shooter-Grade" Model 19...Decisions, decisions...

Thinking of sending him my 5" S&W 25 .45 Colt to be fancified and tuned up

Ruger Service Six frame

Python barrel

S&W rear sight

A Cougar or Cuger. Popular conversion in the late 1970's. The Ruger frame is stronger than a Colt or S&W, the Python barrels are very accurate, and S&W had the best rear sight design.

I think Nonliberal said he'd built these for folks.........

Hell no he didn't

@CQB27 has my very last venture ever into project gunsmithing.

Reminds me of this...

Love that scene!

@CQB27 has my very last venture ever into project gunsmithing.

I swore he said, "Don't make an appointment......just come on by! Preferably right at closing when it's quietest."

...And here we thought you ENJOYED "Challenges"...

And I did when I had time for them. Projects are awesome when you need work but they'll pile up on you if you get busy. Back when I did do projects and SCIENCE was a thing I really enjoyed learning and inventing. I appreciate that people trusted me enough to design something on their dime and I often told people they'd be paying me to learn how to do something. These days I just leave the gunsmithing to gunsmiths.

That revolver is clearly trash, and unsafe to operate.

In the interest of altruism, I'll trade you my .22 magnum bolt rifle for it.

"Smolts" were popular on the PPC circuit for a while. One more thing to take up space in the gun magazines.
