OK guys a phone call today to Kenny Kelly at Mag-na-Port has resulted in an agreement to let Kenny do the action work on my recently purchased 9.5" Ruger Super Single Six. The action job he did on the Ruger SBH I won last year at the Whiteoak Handgun Hunt was the best feeling Ruger I've ever held so I decided to go with someone I have experience with.
http://www.magnaport.com/He will be doing it as a Project Gun in return for a review and a banner in the rotation here at GBO. The work he will be doing on it is:
A full action job: Check headspace, cylinder gap, smooth internal parts to remove creep, lighten trigger pull to between 2.5 and 3 pounds if possible, timing work, recut forcing cone, number chambers and install Wolf springs.
The front sight replaced with a blued metal patridge type of same height as current front sight.
Additionally he will do the “dress up” things we discussed such as polishing trigger and hammer and the bronze coloring of grip and trigger guard he mentioned they have been experimenting with. I've given him carte blanch to do as he thinks best in this regard as I’m sure he knows best and they do some beautiful work on such things.
When he's done with it the gun will be a shore nuff custom job and a one of a kind revolver. I love the feel of the factory grips but might find something more custom in nature to add to it since when it gets back it will be a full custom job I reckon.
Kenny will most likely have it back to me next month so I'll have it for the last couple months of squirrel season here in Bama.
