Idaho 45 Vaquero
New member
Howdy All,
I love single action revolvers, I love them even more when they have been decorated up and customized. I carved out beautiful grips for my 45LC Vaquero and made a beautiful holster. I've made custom grip and a nice holster for my single-six .22 as well. I've always looked with envy at Hamilton Bowen and Linebaugh six-guns. Now, I kinda been thinking about trying something like that in a less common caliber. I have some experience in gunsmithing and lathe work (barrels), and my father is a professional machinist.
I haven't decided on the cambering for this theoretical piece of art., (.475 Linebaugh if I find a strong enough frame) (.455 British maybe if I find a smaller frame)
From just searching online, I can't find anywhere that sells Single Action Revolver Frames or cylinders. However, I can find any grip frame that I would ever want.
Where do I find the parts I need? Is this a crazy idea?
