internal parts, barrels, chemicals for bluing and refinishing, ammo for test firing and so on, we are pulling guns out of our 11 safes and finishing those that we have the parts for. These guns were blued last night (late late late last night) and are ready to be shipped out. I will be rebluing more guns this weekend. I get calls and e-mails every day chewing my ass out because we are so far behind, but there is absolutely nothing we can do about it other than wait for the parts listed above to become available again. We are getting 5 or 6 guns out the door each week so there is some progress but with well over 300 guns in our order book it is a slow process.

First here is a black powder Avenger, sort of a prototype of a new series we are working on. Amazingly black powder revolvers are hard to find just like centerfire guns. Anyway, here is that Avenger, short barrel, full engraved on barrel and cylinder, color cased (factory) and factory grips. I am not going to tell you who it is for but his initials are Scott Boggs.

Next are 2 guns for Joe Lew. First a S&W model 13 in 357. Joe wanted the Positive Performance Package (PPP) and a full refinish in our deluxe Black Chromex. It turned out real nice.



Joe's second gun is a 45 Long Colt Blackhawk. Joe wanted the Positive Performance Package, a deluxe Black Chromex finish and fit his custom Gunfighter gripframe and grips. Again it turned put real nice.

Next is a Ruger Vaquero for Mark Moore. He wanted a full refinish in our deluxe Black Chromex and a set of Mongolian stag grips. Another nice one for Mark.

Next is a Super Blackhawk for Reid Boland. Reid wanted the Positive Performance Package, our interchangeable blade front sight with the gold bead blade, the chambers polished, take the barrel warning off, jewel the hammer and trigger, a Belt Mountain base pin, a steel ejector rod housing and the Vapor Honed finish. It turned out real nice. The grips I am not sure about. I think a bowling ball gave it's life for those grips.
