(I've got a .357 carbine and a .45 short rifle) Less resistance, plus I'm making some for originals that you just can't get anymore. We plan to offer complete stainless steel 73s eventually so we need to learn how to make the parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Eye Jim Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Keep me in mind when you start doing that... I've got a B-Western look idea I want to do that would need all Stainless (not nickel plate) that would be perfect for. (Think of a cross between Ace Hanlon and the handsome stranger...)

OLG I've got a few different ones made. From brass to titanium , aluminum and some alloys. They will be hard anodized when I'm happy with how the design is. Not my machines. My boss had given me free reign to start working on guns and parts. We have the paperwork in to manufacture them so whenever it gets back from the gov. We will be ready to sell. We already make parts for some gun companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about having fun and Stainless is easier to see clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bill Burt Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I would love to have a stainless 1873! Heck I would be happy if I could just have stainless mag tubes for all our 1873s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Brasse, SASS #3562 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 When you start making Merwin barrels please let me know. I have 2 that are fine.... except for the big split at the forcing cone. (both are 3rd models) And another "parts-gun" that is close but also needs a barrel. A working, new Merwin in any flavor would be nice, (a pair actually) The 1873 Winchester in stainless sounds great. Not too picky where you start, 44 WCF, 38-40 WCF, or 32-20 WCF , would be good, but anything would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shapiro Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I could use an aluminum lifter for a .38 '73. What do you charge for those? Are they drop in, or do they need some fitting? Note, I'm not scared of some fitting. Shoot me a PM. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Doc right now we are looking for 5 people to demo one and give us feed back on them.. if your interested in this send me a PM. We are still tweaking a few dimensions to make it a drop in fit for any rifle. The last one off the line yesterday at 4:23. With a little filling to the channel with a jeweler's file i had it in the rifle and working by 4:28. Just in time to punch out for the day. This morning I swapped it out in three rifles. It fit and functioned as is in all three. When up and running we expect the price for a hard anodized aluminum .38 to be around $50 ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
