Title: Modified: Birdshead Grips and Cylinder Question
Post by: Sundown Storm on July 03, 2006, 12:59:08 PM

I'm curious if anyone knows, off the top of their heads, where I may find a pair of non-fluted cylinders for .45LC Ruger New Vaqueros
Also, I'm looking for some bullseye ejector rods, too.

Also, I found some birdshead grips for Vaqueros here: http://www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=9941&title=RUGER%7e+SA+BIRDS+HEAD+GRIP+FRAMES (http://www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=9941&title=RUGER%7e+SA+BIRDS+HEAD+GRIP+FRAMES) it says: "Models to fit either New Model (NM) or Old Model (OM) centerfire and rimfire, single action revolvers. Grips fit old and new model frames" Would these work on the Ruger New Vaquero?

Thanks again

Well, I'm going to order a couple of the birdsheads gripframes, and see how well they work.
As far as the smooth cylinders, found them too ;)

NON-FLUTED???

I'm real curious.  Where'n the Sam Hell did ye find 'em?

Were they spare cylinder takeoffs from a Ruger Bisley convertible?
You got real lucky, I reckon.

Custom Jobs, I'm afraid - cost'n me plenty, too. As soon as they're ready, and slapped in, I'll post photos of them.

Sundown:

Custom, huh?  WOOOO!  Them can be pricey. 
I saw a set once that were originally a smaller caliber (like a .357 or .30 Carbine) that were reamed to fit a .45 Ruger six-gun.
Post pix, when ya can!
