Widder, SASS #59054 Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Another vote for Snake Oil George. I've had 4 sets done by him. All excellent. All were approx 3.5" barrels and he modified the ejector rod housing to fit perfectly to those shorter barrels. ..........Widder 3 1 Quote
Yul Lose Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Here is a pair of Ruger Old Armies that he installed octagon barrels on and then bead blasted. He installed the brass front sight also. 9 Quote
Tommy Reb Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Snake Oil George did a pair of 32 H&R baby vaqueros for me. 5.25 inch barrels, just to be a little different. Excellent work. Highly recommend SOG. TReb Quote

Totes Magoats Posted April 20 Posted April 20 Snake Oil did mine, but I heard he's not doing it any longer. 2 Quote
doc roy l. pain Posted April 20 Posted April 20 Question. Does he replace the barrels, or does he just take your barrels off and shape them? Quote

Palmetto Traveller Posted April 23 Posted April 23 I had a pair built by Boomstick in 3.75" that I'm very happy with. I've also seen some done by SOG and they're very nice as well. Can't go wrong either way. Quote
