BUNKHOUSE RAMBLINGS

[outrider]

KT,

Already done..couldn't wait until tomorrow  .changed to a set of 16 oz hammer springs...The guns are slick now for sure....I used the Wolf Spring kits and deburred all the internals...took me about two hours.  I found the spring kits at the shoot today...one of my pards had three extra kits...got all three for $10.00.....I usually keep at least four Ruger kits and at least 5 92 spring kits on hand all the time...today I pard gave me his Stoeger shotgun to do some slicking on...fortunately I have one Stoeger spring kit here...

        Those are beautiful, too bad we're not closer, I'd be more than happy to help you break them in, question, if the new Bisley is the same body as the new Vaquero, then the hammer spring should be a 17# spring, which is a whole lot better than the old model with a 23# spring, I switched mine out for 16# and I like it, with a good degreasing and smoothing, and some good oil, these guns will sing, I think I'm going to have to check these new Bisleys out for my own self, I've always loved the grip frames on the Bisley, with large hands like I have, they feel real good in the hand. Thanks for the look see, and the PM.

Very nice pistols, pard. They sure look good. You going to make a new rig for them?

[outrider]

Marshall,

Your reading my mind on the new rig...however I am kind of swamped right now so I am just making a new Duke style crossdraw in 5.5" to accomodate the longer barrel.  With my other set of New Model Vaqueros..I have one in 5.5" and one in 4 3/4" (cross draw) so I have enough leather to sqeeze by for now...but my mind is spinning around looking for new ideas for a Bisley rig.  I have been seriously thinking on getting some horn back alligator and trying that   we will see

Howdy Outrider,
Beautiful set of Revolvers! I share driving to matches with a Pard in my hometown. He shoots a pair of Ruger Bisleys. Yesterday he placed third overall. It was 37 degrees when we started shooting yesterday morning.

I do look forward to seeing the rig you make for your new Bisleys.

Well, I thought I might be passed up by the flu, but since I work in a Hospital I should have known better.  Will probably be down for a few days.   Now I will have more time to keep up with th pards(when I'm not sleeping).

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this, I sure did.
As a lot of you know I lost my dad this past christmas day and it has been pretty tough, but not all of it. My Mom sent me some things she thought I might like to keep and Man what a surprise.
This is the first piece of leatherwork I ever did. I was  10 years old and I can still remember painstakingly placing those letter stamps to try and keep them straight. It was presented to my Dad on his 28th birthday And I also still remember him putting his keys on it and then holding it in his hand, occassionally running his finger over it for the rest of the day. It's a good memory and one I wanted to share.
