James Henry Parker SASS#76661 Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 (edited) I used sandpaper to get bead blast out and smooth the metal started with 320 and ended with 2000 by hand . It looks better in person I can’t take good pics Edited January 29 by James Henry Parker SASS#76661 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Looks like a different gun! I see you also changed the grip frame and grip as well. Also looks almost like it has case colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Henry Parker SASS#76661 Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 I had some 1851 grip frames and got the idea to see if they would fit put the brass ones on the 1851 ‘s turned out pretty good anything was better than the dull finish I thought I could live with it but I couldn’t do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
