Re: Ruger Old Army conversion cylinder
I left a message with the manufacturer, and they (he) returned it saying it was not advisable for the gun or the cylinder, DON'T DO IT!!! Very adamant. I still don't know why, but I guess I'm not...

Re: home made revolver grips
If you DO refinish the grips, remember that the main factor in the outcome

Re: home made revolver grips
Black stain? I don't know. Certainly there are very dark stains. I went the complete opposite way, sanded the old finish off, smoothed out the wood with progressively lighter grits of paper until...

Re: Howda Pistol
I just looked at it again. It's a double-barreled pistol, which looks much like a sawed off shotgun....only prettier. I fear it might be considered or mistaken for illegal. At least the holster...

Skeet shooting with the ROA
I'm wondering how many of you, when shooting skeet

Re: Ruger Old Army
An outfit called R & D makes the replacement cylinder for the ROA to
shoot the .45 long Colt cartridges. The price is around $255.
