Short barrel Remington

[Doc Hoy]

Here it is.....

....with the grips installed. They still need to be smoothed and tapered.

I have a method for making grips in a pistol which begins with shaping the part of the grip which mates up with the fraem of the revolver. This contour is difficult to get right but once it is right, then the rest of the grip can be shaped.

In this case the size of the blank and the flow of the grain of the antler skin did not permit me to work that way. So the match between the top of the grip and the frame is not very good.

Looks great so far Doc.

Finished the blueing today

I found the remnants of a ASP DDG of the underside of the barrel, so that question has been answered.

Here are some pix of the finished revolver.

Nice proportions.
Has it got enough leverage to seat a ball or do you have to use a cheater?

 

[Doc Hoy]

Ooops....I meant DGG

Jim,

I use a press. But I think it would work if I use either 451s or 454s.

I have a Colt Sheriff of roughly the same geometry and the loading lever worked on that. (That was a .36 though.)

It's a beauty, Doc! Definitely work to be proud of. I'm glad to hear that you resolved the mystery of the manufacturer, too.
