Years ago, and I mean twenty years ago, I was at a small public range about 50 miles from Seattle, and a guy showed-up with an interesting array of guns.
All were based on Ruger single actions, but all had been heavily modified.
Among them were lengthened Blackhawks chambered in .45-70 and .444 Marlin, a Single Six converted into a 5-shot .38, a New Army converted to a centerfire caliber that I can't remember, a Hawkeye single shot, with a half-dozen interchangeable barrels chambered in .223, .30-06, and I don't remember what else. It was really cool, with an adjustable extractor that doubled as a headspace indicator.
I seem to remember that they guy was from Montana.
The guns were complete, fully finished and not cobbled-together "mules".
Any idea who the guy was?
