How much did those custom SBH's run?? I kinda want one..
Fall hunting special was $500 off regular price, so they cost me $1,000 each, with me providing the guns and scopes.
I cannot remember everything that was done, but here I what I do remember.
The 10 1/2" barrels were cut back just enough to remove the front sight screw hole, the muzzle was threaded and recrowned, then the muzzle brake was threaded on and a sling swivel stud installed into the muzzle brake because of the slightly larger diameter.
The barrel was lead lapped.
The trigger was adjusted to 3.4 pounds.
The barrels forcing cone was Taylor throated.
The gun was drilled and tapped for a scope base.
An oversize cylinder pin was fitted and installed.
The hammer was shimmed for smoother cocking.
All internal parts were honed and polished.
Hogue grips were added, as was a sling swivel stud to help aid in sling,carry out in the field. Properly adjusted, it also makes for an easier support when shooting off hand or sitting at the base of tree when shooting
The rings were installed, and the scope was mounted and sighted in at 100 yards with the white box Winchester 240 gr. Jacketed soft point ammo.
I know there was other work that was done, but this is all we can think of at the moment.
Addendum: just before sending this reply, my wife and daughter just came in with a 130 pound sow that my shot at a laser ranged 286 yards, shooting a Hornady 225 gr. FTX bullet with a muzzle velocity of 1,524 feet per second. The shot was centered in the neck, and they both said that mom must have missed because the hog just stood there. A second round was about to be sent down range when the hog just fell over and collapsed on the spot. Now I've got a hog to go butcher and let hang in the cooler for a week before processing.
Oh, and this is my wife's first hog or even first game animal with one of our custom revolvers, and for whatever reason, even though she had her Contender rifle with her, she just got a hankering to use a scope sighted revolver, and she sure made me proud.
