R. R. Ranger Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I stupidly sold my SKB 200 by Dirt Merchant years ago. I am now thinking of shooting matches again but need replacement. If I could get my hands on another one (can only find 28” stock guns) , how hard is it the make them “cowboy”? I know there are couple of guy doing the work but I love a winter gun project. Are there tutorials online like for the 73’s? Looking for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 It's easy. Just use the Cowboy mail service to get it to Fast Eddie down in Georgia. Within a month, you'll be ready to go. I like to do things myself but I don't think I would practice on a $1,200 SKB. I'll leave that to the experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. R. Ranger Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 I was thinking that would be a option,. Still, I would like to know what all is done to them then decide if too much for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bill Burt Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Spring work, funneling the breeches, polishing the chambers, polishing the mating surfaces so it falls open easily, adding a mechanical trigger reset. Not a DIY project for the average shooter imho. Fast Eddie is the man when it comes to SKBs. I have four of his and they’re indistinguishable from each other.

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 He also cuts the barrels to about 22" and puts a new bead on. Very nice work. I have two Fast Eddie SKB's. Everything else is just....something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
