ChanceMcCall Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 For those of you who are serious about your firearms, you already know Bill Oglesby a.k.a. Badlands Bill as one of the leading gunsmiths on cowboy action guns, especially the single action revolvers. What you may not know is that because of the soon to be Illinois Dealer Licensing Act, he like many. many other gun dealers will soon be retiring from the gun business. If you want a chance to get some of his fabulous work, you better do it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 That stinks! The only states I have close relatives in are CA, IL, and NV. I wouldn't want to move to any of them. Guess, I'm stuck in CA. At least we have a nice property and I feel safe on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pee Wee #15785 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I have a pair of Rugers in .44 mag he did. One was a gun he had used some. Don't think there are any better than him and just a few that are equal to him. Bought off Sam Cotton with all the work done. Full Ogelsby signature job-He replaces the barrel's with custom ones, line bored, rev. spin, trigger stop, hammer stop, action work, 1" at 25 yards.
