My favorite (Acusport Bisley in .45 Colt):

The stainless working guns (45 Hunter, chopped/channeled .44, .45 Colt Bisley):

The runt of the litter (Bearcat):

The safe queen Acusports (.44, .41, .45, .45/.45):

Consec. #ed .357 Acusports:

These last two aren't mine but rather pictures I liked from some past TALO advertising:

This is a shot of my Vaquero Bisleys that I shoot CAS with.-

This is my cut down Super Blackhawk with stag grips, sitting with my Marlin .44 Cowboy and my Marbles knife.

This would be my Vaquero Sheriff .45. It was made when Ruger made the Vaquero correctly. IMHO.-

Jay you need to lone me that case hardened .22 bisley for about 20 years!!!!

KENTDEP · « **Reply #11 on:** April 01, 2007, 02:50:13 AM »

I might trade it for a .32 Mag that has adjustable sights. Know anyone who might have something like that?

Jay

Boxhead · « **Reply #12 on:** April 01, 2007, 06:50:52 AM »

Jay,

Nice stuff and Lloyd is right, as usual, that chopped Bisley 22 is darn nice as is the 44 Bisley.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

The little blue/CCH Bisley was another wrecked gun project. I has never been fired. The gun was slated to be a gunsmithing display gun at a grand opening for a Gander Mountain store. The GM gunsmith that was working on it got it in brand new. It has set in the store for a year when he was asked by the manager to come up with a special gun for a store grand opening. So the gunsmith grabbed the one above. He was going to do it up just as it is in the picture above.

So the gunsmith cut the barrel and crowned it, he stripped the bluing off the gun and polished the surfaces of the cylinder frame, hammer, trigger and loading gate as they needed to be for Turnbull to do his CCH finish. All the other parts were given a high polish blue. All the parts were lost in transit (UPS) between Grandville Mi and NewYork. The Gander Mountain had made a claim and did collect on it and some time after the little Bisley showed up. The box was pretty beat up and in side the gun parts were pretty trashed too. Well the gunsmith was pretty p/o'ed and the store grand opening had come and gone so the little Bisley had sat on the shelf for some time.

I came into the store and spied the blued .44 SBH in the above photo. I asked to see it and I liked it right off the bat. Well I took that gun and walked over to the gunsmith and asked him about the .44. At the end of the conversation he said "If you like that .44 you should see the project that I just can't seem to finish...." That is when he hauled out the beaten box that contained the little Bisley above. He explained the story and told me that his heart wasn't into finishing it and he did not have the time anyway. He said that he would like to see it go to someone who could and would finish it like he had invisioned.

He gave me a good price on the gun considering it was brand new even though it was a basket case. So I went to work taking out the dings and scratches that UPS had put in the gun. The parts that are CCH'ed went to Turnbull and the blued parts were done locally. Kevin the gunsmith got to screw the barrel back on when all the parts were done. It was a great project.

Wow!!! That one is nice! I'd take one like that in trade for my .22.

I recognize that but I can't place who owns it??? Boxhead maybe?

Jay

KENTDEP · « **Reply #19 on:** April 03, 2007, 02:23:00 AM »

Oh yeah it's above. I like it too. It's funny that I remembered that it was Boxhead's gun. We can't see each other but we recognize and associate the guns with their owners. Expecially the customs.

One of my favorites is the 45 flat top that Bowen used in his seminar last summer to demonstrate how to install his cylinder bushing`. I forgot exactly how he did it so I'll file it under 'standard magic'. It needs bluing but as long as it shoots it's fine by me.

44 Man · « **Reply #21 on:** April 03, 2007, 02:17:19 PM »

Well, I guess I have to get in on this one. We'll start with Lloyd's new .32 done as a Stalker by Larry Kelly of Mag-na-port. It has a steel grip frame and I have a target shot at 30 yds that has 10 holes in it not over an inch center to center. Loved that little gun, but it had become a 'safe queen' and didn't see much use anymore so rather than have it moping around I'll let Lloyd exercise it for a while.

This one I enjoy and shoot a lot. Another Mag-na-port gun, it's a pre-warning SBH, cut to 5" with a blue you could comb your hair in (if I had any) and some gold plating.

Another Mag-na-port Stalker. This one is a FA in 44 mag.

Bet you haven't seen any of these for a while. Two .22 Hy-hunters that I use with blanks for our theatrical Cowboy shootouts. The finish has been bead blasted off in this picture as the guns were getting prepped for nickle plating that's being done now.

And the last for now, a stainless 'new' vaquero, that I have not sighted in yet. The last one of these I had shot several inches right of aim at 40 yds. I could have adjusted it but it was winter and cold out and I traded it off instead. We'll see if this one does better.

44 Man. Oh, one more! Lloyd remembers that .44 spl AWA I shot at the Mich shoot a couple of years ago. Not a good picture of the gun, but the holster looks great.

A Uberti .44 spl made from a long barreled .357

Three .22's

And now the newest additions; a pair of SS Gauchos.

jengel · « **Reply #22 on:** April 03, 2007, 05:48:51 PM »

My one and only for now. It is a .41 mag Liberty model. I am looking for an Acusport 45 Colt bisley.

Lloyd Smale · « **Reply #23 on:** April 03, 2007, 10:07:53 PM »

Hey pal that 32 would look much better with a pair of those stags on it. I know you like those pachmyrs so how about we swap even

Yeah, right! (in your dreams) Those grips are a (semi) matching pair; one is on the SBH at the moment, and the other is on the NV. They both were made for BH's but I cut one down for the NV. When I get a mate to the NV, I'll cut the pair on the SBH down for it. Always wanted a pair of Lone Ranger guns! I probably have an extra pair of stock Ruger grips in the drawer that I haven't round butted that you can have, or maybe I'll surprise you with something. Hey, while we are talking about grips, bring the pair with the Coyote on them to the shoot this year. I was looking at the pictures the other day. I know I put teeth in that coyote, but I can hardly see them. I'll bring my scrimshaw stuff and we'll give him some real teeth! 44 Man

I have an old model Vaquero in .44mag. Stainless with 5.5" barrel, It has the factory wood grips, and they look OK, but man stags would be friggin' AWESOME.

Anyone know the best place to find a set of ruger's factory "ivory" looking grips to fit it?

blackwolfe · « **Reply #26 on:** April 04, 2007, 04:59:13 AM »

Lots of nice eye candy guys. Thanks for sharing. Some day I'll have to figure out the digital camera if I can get it away from the kids. Then I'll have to learn how to post pictures. I don't really have anything special, just mostly factory stock for now.
Blkhawk73, really like that little Bearcat, where did you get those grips?
Kentdep, sure like that .22 Bisley with the Turnbull colors and the Clements cutom.
Keep the candy coming.

These two (.45LC and .22LR) are about to go off for some work including rounded gripframes and ebony grips, 5.5" barrels, lanyard rings, extra cylinders in .45ACP and .22mag, new front sights. They will shortly be joined by a set of leverguns in .45LC and .22LR.
