Dirt Farmer, SASS #59817 8 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Years back there was an excellent Ruger CAS gunsmith who could short stroke a Vaquero, his byline was to make it "Run like a Colt" And that he could. I think he may have left the scene, but I'm having a senior moment trying to remember his name. He did a pair of Vaqueros for me; still have them. Is there anyone out there who remembers him, can jar my memory? IIRC, he was is poor health, may have lost a leg. This was maybe 10 years ago. My guns may have been some of his last, not sure.

Dirt Farmer, SASS #59817 8 Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 That's right. Thanks a bunch, had a senior moment, couldn't remember his name for anything. He was a stand up guy and a great gunsmith. Thanks, DF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snakebite 1,496 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I've got the first pair of New Vaqueros that he ever did. They still run fantastic. Wes was a Great guy with many great stories about his time working on the Hollywood Westerns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
