this is a competitor barrel in 357 mag Dan B. wanted rechambered to 357 Max and re blued. The first pic is before.
After
This next gun is a Single Six 17 HMR Gregg Richter wanted the barrel shortened on and fitted with a 17 HM2 cylinder. I also re blued the gun and polished the ejector and housing as well as the grip frame.I also jeweled the hammer and trigger.
This next gun you've seen before it is my Encore with a 30-06 barrel rechambered to 300 Win with a brake added. Before I didn't have time before the season to hot blue so I just cold blue and I didn't bevel the edge of the brake. I also have a pic of the bullet from the elk I shot with it. Some of you may remember I thought I had hit it in the read leg at about 250 and had to drop it with my wifes gun all due to a comedy of errors. About a month or two ago I looked at the one bullet we recovered which had passed about an inch above the spine and I realized it wasn't from my wifes gun but from mine. The 180gr accubond penetrated over a foot of solid muscle and retained 160gr. This also explained why he never ran as I'm sure the bullet bruised the spine looking at the damage when I was cutting out the back strap.
This last one is also one of mine you've seen before but I refinished it and changed scopes. This is my 454 with the oak grips I made but I'm thinking they are looking pretty worn so I'll either refinish them or put something different on.
