Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Spent the day with him yesterday, mostly in the shop. He performed an amputation on my 16 gauge Swedish Hammer gun to make it into a coach gun that any stagecoach shotgun rider would be proud of. Gonna be my "fun-gun" with brass shotshells & black powder (naturally). Was a good off-season day! --Prairie (what's ridin' shotgun) Dawg Edited January 12, 2017 by Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarillo Rattler Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Dawg, I am changing the 1860 Armys 8" barrels I bought from you 3+'years ago and Rowdy Yates did the full work on 'em. I installed the Birdshead grips I bought from you recently. Perfect fit, thank you again. Bought 4 7/8" 1851 Navy barrels. Sending the barrels and frames to Colorado Coffinmaker for his magic fitting the barrels to the frames. The term "Kit Guns" comes to mind. See ya' Amarillo Rattler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Both are semi-retired I do not know how much work either is accepting Rowdy works out of Lee's Gunsmithing in Orange, CA http://leesgunsmithing.com/ He does action work on cap guns I don't know if he still does cap guards or not. Cap guards are a replacement piece in the recoil shield, with a slot in it that prevents a spent cap from falling into the action. Contact Coffinmaker here: http://www.sassnet.com/forums/index.php?showuser=12567 I don't know what, if any work he is accepting. --Dawg Edited January 13, 2017 by Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
