GUYS, I NEED SOME HELP: I HAVE A RUGER OM BLACKHAWK CONVERSION TO 25-20 BY BOWEN, A WONDERFUL GUN THAT I SOMETIMES USE AS A PORCH GUN AT MY RANCH. I HAD MADE A VOW TO QUIT BUYING GUNS (I MOSTLY BUY REVOLVERS) BUT I FOUND A COLT DA REVOLVER ON GUNBROKER IN 25-20. TURNS OUT IT IS A 1959 PYTHON WITH A CUSTOM BARREL, SANS UNDERLUG, WITH AN ADD ON VENT RIB. THE CYLINDER LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN A 22 CALIBER CYLINDER THAT WAS REAMED OUT TO 25-20. THE CYLINDER IS A TAD LONGER THAT A POST WAR COLT OFFICIAL POLICE 22 LR CYLINDER. NO MARKINGS THAT I CAN FIND ANYWHERE ON THE GUN OTHER THAN THE SERIAL #. JUST FUNCTION TESTED THE REVOLVER AND IT WORKS FINE. NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WUD DO THIS TO A PYTHON IN RECENT MEMORY SO I FIGURE THE CUSTOM WORK DATES TO THE 1960's. THE GUN CAME OUT OF IDAHO. ANYBODY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GUN?

"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.
