Sticking to the Project Plan!!!
« on: April 22, 2005, 04:50:24 PM »
Came up with a plan to follow through with a custom pistol project.  Might seem a bit humorous to some.

I bought a used Ruger Blackhawk 45Colt as a stablemate for my Super Blackhawk Hunter.  My project plan:

Flattop the frame
Recontour the front sight
Factory steel frame
Bisley hammer
Steel Ejector Rod Housing
Bullseye Ejector Rod

So, shortly after getting the BH home, I was pulled towards selling it for another firearm that caught my eye.  I fought, and I fought, and I fought.  My solution to the temptation......Ebay.  I sold the grip frame, ejector rod housing and ejector rod.  Now I'm sitting with an unshootable, basically worthless hunk of metal.  

Today, I finally ordered the missing pieces from Brownells yesterday.  Now, I have enough invested in the BH that I will be keeping it for the long-haul.

Good luck! It sounds like a worthy project. And by the way, what can be humorous about getting something fine that you want? Unless we're allowing the smile you'll have on your face when it's finished and working just as you had hoped.
