Got her rolling .
Or thought I did .
Looks good!
That is a nice Ruger. Ruger DAs are one of my favorites and Wolfe springs are a must on any I own.
Well, I'm not the high bidder, but I kicked it up a notch or two.
I had a gunsmith friend show me what to do to really slick up a Ruger SA. I like a steel frame on them the aluminum just feels cheap and the extra weight really makes the gun handle and feel better in the hand. I used to put Suber BH Dragoon frames on a BH. I have large hands and the extra grip helps me alot. I also like the Bisley framed guns.
This is one of the smoothest Rugers I have ever had. My Dad didn't like 44 mag but he needed more than a 357 so I made this gun for him. We used to go to AK and fly fish for Grayling and this was going to be the gun he took to replace a 2" S&W M19 me carried. But Dementia got to him 1st. Now he is gone and I get sad when I see the dang thing. I hope whomever wins it will enjoy it and use it.
My biggest complaint about SA Rugers are the painted AL frames. Same with ejector housings. One little ding and the paint comes off. Such purty case hardening or bluing on ugly painted AL frames
You can still buy SS frames from Ruger but they have to be fitted and blued. Had one installed on a 44-40 BH. Really liked the aftermarket brass frames, which are no more. Blued steel ejector housings are hard to find.
At least some of the Bisley and Bisley Vaqueros had steel frames.
Despite these short comings. I consider their SAs bargains.
@chiefr I agree 100% they make the gun feel cheap and the issue with the paint is 100%. Prime example is that gun the only real "flaw" is the ejector rod paint.
I like the old brass frames too, but they are like hens teeth and when you do find them they are EXPENSIVE.
That gun took flight right thru the roof. My daughter was bidding then said no more. wow good for you.
Yea that is crazy. I am happy though.
Holy good God!
That thing went thru the roof!
Major Congrats!
I was really suprised. Its a nice pistola but I am not sure its that nice, that said i am happy and I hope its gets paid for.
Guns are going for really insane prices right now.
