Local Artist Hand Carved Grips and Stocks

Old Mossy Horns
Its ready for a photo and some shooting today if the proper sight comes in the mail (a taller Williams red fire sight). In any event, I may go back and scallop the recoil shield and loading gate by hand later so for now the finish on the stainless will be left at 180g. Later I'll finalize the frame and the cylinder at 220g but leave the top strap and barrel at 180. Rust blued the ejector rod housing and put it into place and the brass band looks good (good time spent shaping the frame loop to blend with the brass banded ejector rod housing) , really liking the flattop with rounded edges. No alloy on this one anywhere, just good steel. Internal work was limited to cleaning and the trigger breaks after a touch of take up at about 4 lbs 4 oz. I think the only additional work there will be to shim the locking bolt against lateral movement. Mostly it'll get used with 45 ACP. It has a 45 colt cylinder but its likely to remain much less used.
