The frame of this gun is ASM, but the parts come from a variety of places, including some I had to fabricate (other than, obviously, the cylinder and breech-plate.) I went a different direction than the usual bird-head with the grip-frame, and made a set of scales in Desert Ironwood. The gun is chambered for .44 Colt and the bullets shown are 200gr. heel-base bullets that I swage from HG68 SWCs.
The cylinder is extra beefy, so there's no issue with the lock-notches possibly breaking into the chambers. The cylinder was made out of a .36 cylinder that came in a .44 caliber parts-gun I picked up last year, and it
just fits in this frame. I ddn't go too crazy with the finish on this gun; I intend to rust-blue it later this winter. I'm not too keen on the look of the grips- they seem very flat- but they work very well in my hand. I'm also not sure I can live with the barrel-lug needing a screw removed to pull the cylinder pin; I may mofity it to be hinged and install a latch similar to the one on The Pug.
Here's a picture of it with The Pug (my first bulldog conversion) for comparison.
