Great!

Knew you had the .45 blk powder champhered, barrel cut down & the forcing cone recut.
Do you specifiy any extra work such as cylinder throat boring (to your own spec's) cylinder alignment and barrel lapping done? Perhaps you work with this yourself?

I have had the trigger work done on my ruger, No Creep!. Push through slugs say that some lapping will be needed and the "slugged" cylinder say's it is a bit too tight to be a good cast shooter. Am considering having this work done. Figured that would be better than (MYSELF) trying to get those throats .001 over forcing cone diameter w/steel rod & emery in the electric drill :eek: Perhaps I can smooth the thing out with Jacketed?

sorry about the size that came out. the next size down from that and you really couldnt see much detail. so i went to the next size up and it came out gigantic! the host i use only gives three size choices. looks like things got straightened out though.

Sure Would Like To Hold Them...
They are so beautiful, you might have to keep the old mechanics saying in mind.

Glad I drifted through here. I had David convert one of my .50's vintage flattops to .44 special. Color case the frame. The work is some of the finest I have ever seen. It is accurate pleasant to carry. I cannot recommend Clements highly enough. Matter of fact, my second flattop may go out to him for conversion to 10mm.

Take care,
