I hope this is not too far off topic. I had this 44 Special conversion on an Old Model 357 done nearly 10 years ago by Alan Harton out of Houston. A simple gun encouraged by Alan, " I can mill the metal away and put it back if we decide differently". A simple conversion then became much more. Many years later while living in Calgary my middle son brought home a couple of pieces of walnut he found in his high school woodshop "scrap bin". Having moved back to the States I sent the sixgun and slabs back to Alan and here is what awaits when I return home from Kazakhstan next week.

Simply elegant! Makes one want to pick it up and handle it. I'll bet a mild load with a Keith-style semi-wadcutter would work well. I have 1/3 coffee can of them all ready to go....

Beautiful. Who did the color case?

Alan did the polishing and Turnbull did the CC.
