EZ-CowboyHomestead Posted June 3 Posted June 3 THE CYLINDER HAD SOME PTTING INSIDE SO I HAD TO REPLACE IT AND THEN FINALLY ADDED SOME PATINA. HERE ARE SOME BEFORE AND AFTER PICS. THE BEFORE PICS ARE ACTUALLY AFTER TAKING THE GUN APART AND STRIPPING OF THE ORIGINAL FINISH 1 Quote

watab kid Posted June 3 Posted June 3 i like it , there a lot of folks with fancy grip scales on their guns , it looks just fine to me - handle it enough the scales will match the look Quote

I guess I need to scratch and ding it up a bit. Still a work in progress. If you look closely at the pictures you can see the slight change. Thanks for the comment. I like honesty. 1 Quote
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted June 3 Posted June 3 I like honesty, too....unless it crosses swords with a good story. 2 Quote
PowderRiverCowboy Posted June 3 Posted June 3 Well, without dogging a company. I can confirm stripping a Uberti Finish is the easiest thing you can do even in a water based ultrasonic cleaner. Quote
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted June 3 Posted June 3 Leave the grips as they are. Use the story that the old grips broke and were replaced because the gun is still sound, 1 Quote

Use the story that the old grips broke and were replaced because the gun is still sound, Either that, or find another pair that fit well, grrrr them up, (that's a technical term), and install them when you really want it to look antiqued.
