the super blackhawk project gun is now about complete

[Lloyd Smale]

Got the action done and dave clements donated a 4440 cylinder to me and its at alan hartons getting throated to .431 so now its a convertable too. For you that missed it its a 4 5/8s super that i fitted an aluminum grip frame and ejector rod housing to, scalloped the recoild sheild and loading gate . Had it all beadblasted to match. Put a bowen rough country rear and a clements front post, a belt mountain sherrifs locking base pin in it removed the warning and have 44 man making a set of scrimshawed micra grips and fitting old model black eagles in them. I bought most of the parts used and have very little into this gun and it sure makes for a nice light packing pistol that shoots as good as it looks and now with the two cylinders is very versitile to boot.

Thanks for the post Lloyd…I really appreciate the blow by blow accounts of these conversions as the detailed descriptions along with pictures posted give one who is interested a lot to go on.
Am looking forward to seeing the pictures when complete…of special intrest will be seeing what the scalloped recoil shield and loading gate look like…course we cant forget .44 Man & the scrimshaw work!
Many thanks also to 2 dogs & others who have posted their conversions.

That little Blackhawk sure is turning out to be a sweetheart of a carry gun. I hope you bring it to Grayling this year.
