Because I'm bored and thinking of building a Franken-Wesson.
Donor is a 629-5 (8" barrel)
I have a .45 ACP cylinder and looking to install a barrel. My original thought was to buy a barrel blank and make my own. Then a stainless Ruger barrel ended up on the parts swapper portion of gun broker.
So My primary purpose with this piece will be bullseye shooting. I'd like something near 5 or 6". The Ruger barrel is 7-1/2. Thought I could cut it down.
So does anyone know the thread diameter and pitch of the two pistols?
Ruger Red Hawk and an N-Frame Smith.
A stock barrel blank is still an option but haven't decided quite yet.
Thoughts and comments welcome
