Chili Pepper Pete 11917 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 For SaleCustom built Ruger Old Navy. Pistol started life as a blued 7 1/2" adjustable sight model. The Idea was to slim the whole gun down and create a small navy looking revolver that looks 100 years old but shoots better than it came out of the factory. Pistol was re barreled with a 3 1/2" .375 groove barrel and cylinders sleeved to .375. Gun shoots awesome with .380 round balls. The cylinder was fluted and a rebated to look similar to a colt army. The brass grip frame is a older aftermarket one with the bottom cut off to approximate the smaller single six frames and Altamont slim grips fitted. As can be seen the brass frame does have some pitting. The frame was re profiled with a skinny top strap and new sight groove. The lower frame is curved to make it look more colt like and aid reholstering. The hammer has been lowered and original nipple have been replaced with Treso. The internals have been smoothed and polished and feature new wolf main and trigger springs. The pistol has an antiqued cold blue finish with an authentic patina. The pistol comes with the original loading lever and a modified plunger with brass extension. Reduced to $ 650 including shipping.Please note that this is a Black Powder Pistol and may be shipped directly to you. Please know the laws in your State.Thanks for looking,Chili

Chili Pepper Pete 11917 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks Outrider he is a true gentleman and a good friend Hey Catguts. How are you? I have made one pair already for Blue Mesa as a matter of fact. If you'd like to commission a pair I'm sure we could work something out. The hard part is getting the grip frames. Something to think about though. Best regards Chili
