I'm hearing you Ghost Tracker. I can picture exactly what you mean and I like the idea. I found myself doing the exact same thing with the standard Trijicon front sight on the SP101. In the dark, you can see a slight reflection in the rear sight channel. I found myself wondering if the...

Actually, everything was done by hand. The cylinder was done on a flat machinists block with 600 grit sandpaper stuck to it. Then to 800 grit sandpaper, and then to 1200 grit. Then it was carefully hand polished with Flitz metal polish on pure cotton tight weave fabric stretched over a...

Yes, all the work was done by me. Sorry, but I am not currently licensed to do any work on other peoples firearms. Also, thanks again everyone for all the kind words!

Took a couple of more pics for you to enjoy. Enjoy!

Thank you Quaestor, and thank you everyone for the kind words. I am good at making good photos, but the pistol does look better in person, and in the hand. It's always fun and rewarding making a $400 pistol into something thats special.

It's almost impossible to describe everything that was done to the engagement surfaces but I will say this. Everyone has their own definition of a perfect double action trigger. Some shooters like a double action trigger they are able to "stage" and like to be able to slightly feel the stages...

I thank everyone for the very kind comments. It makes all the hard work worthwhile when other people can appreciate it! I love the simplistic design of the SP101's internals and the ruggedness of the frame. Having a detachable trigger guard containing all internals is simply a genius...

I just finished this one and thought I'd share some pics. I have always loved the Ruger SP101, and I always had imagined what my ultimate SP101 would be. When I started this project, I had in mind a full satin finish, but then settled on a duo tone look with a polished cylinder, trigger...

I've been in your same boat for many years now.. Loving the guardian 380 for its beauty, but hearing some bad things about both the guardians and the kel tek's I hadn't took the plunge. A friend of mine bought the guardian .32 and let me shoot it and not a single problem in the 100 rounds of...

I have a couple of pics on file that might be of some interest for this thread. In my opinion, the Makarov IS the best bang for the buck low priced pistol. The 9x18 performs awesome, topping the .380 and has the little bit more velocity that aids reliable expansion, which most .380's lack...

My lord, that is the most beautiful Hi power I have ever seen. Is that all stainless, nickel, or hard chrome? Custom, or factory? If they had one like that at the gun store, I wouldn't flinch a bit before trembling as I'm paying for it as soon as I can get my wallet out. I'm definately going...

Springfield Armory Trophy Match

I have found out that the kit was made by "Armi San Paulo S.r.l.", by the "DGG" mark by the serial number. The proofmark in the rectangular box is the date "AI" which means 1982. The company Armi San Paulo S.r.l. is now called Euroarms Italia S.r.l, whos website can be found at...

Now this question. What kind of nipples does this thing use for replacements? Since the maker is unknown, will it use regular Colt 1860 nipples? I took a pic of the nipples, so do they look like regular ones? AND, is there any place that shows further disassembly of the frame, or do you...

I got this BP revolver from my uncle. All he knows is that it was built from a kit back in the days. Obviously it is a .44 or .45 because I measured the cylinder, but what model is it a replica of? What company made it, or made the kit? What size balls do I fire out of it? Everything in it...

Is there a good online newbie guide to shooting BP revolvers?

By a stroke of luck, an uncle has 2 Navy type replica .36 caliber revolvers and he said he would let me have one. It don't have any instruction manual or anything, but it can't take a rocket scientist to shoot this thing. What am I gonna need to shoot this thing? Here's my checklist thus...

Yea, I'm definately getting the Old Army. Now for this question. What model is the Ruger Old army closest to? The 1858? Reason being, if I get a presentation box, what model box would it fit in? If I order the rest of my accessories from Cabelas, could I get the wood loading stand, and...
