Bisley parts on BFR
« on: December 28, 2008, 11:30:51 AM »
Would Ruger Bisley hammer and trigger fit on newer BFR revolvers? I am one of those hopelessly addicted to Bisley configuration, otherwise I will just buy BFR or good used FA revolver. Yes I am aware of difficulties regarding installing Bisley grip frame on BFR. However, a friendly tool and die maker is a wizard with metal and when I showed him a grip frame I would like to be fitted, he laughed. He is retiring soon so I have to move fast… Thanks, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I talked to john linebaugh about this at one time. He said it could be done but would be alot of work. He talked me into building my first linebaugh instead. By the time a guy buys a bfr and a frame and pays a smith to do it your going to be into more money then picking up a used FA or linebaugh,clements, bowen ect bisley and probably have a much better gun. My advice would be to sell the bfr and start saving.
