Hi all,
Got started today about half an hour ago...and snapped a few pics
along-the-way.
Goal:
Modify an older Model 10-6, 4 inch Bull Barrel, Square Butt, for an all
Season IWB rig.
So, first phase, dismantle, evaluate mechanism for any finessing it may want
( and there will be some, as for one thing, the internal Cylinder Release bar's
little round end, should be longer than it is, so, I'll send off for a
replacement, and fit it, or, get a little Steel added via Mr. Tig at some friendly Welding Shop or other, ) and, prepare for the other various changes to be made.
In the 2nd image, 'White Out' is casually applied to show those areas which prospectively will be
removed...though I am not presently certain I will shorten the Barrel
initially...might be fun to leave that be, and see how I like things being in the 4 inch way of faith for a while, and then decide.
Image showing Revolver as it is -
Image showing gross prospective changes to form and silhouette -
The way Life and Work are these days, if I can steal an Hour a day for this project, I'll be doing well...so...off to a good start anyway!
