Super Blackhawk project
Super Blackhawk project
Finally got my RW Grips brass NM Bisley, had them do an experiment for me with a Webley reproduction lanyard ring. More than happy with results, this is for my RCA 1987? Super Blackhawk. The RW frames not discussed much here, big following on the Single Action forum.

Re: Super Blackhawk project
I have an RW brass frame that I had put on one of my RSS's that I had Turnbull restore for me.
Turnbull asked me if it was a RW frame. They had heard of them but never had one in hand.
They commented that it was a well made very high quality frame.
Cheers,
JAY

Re: Super Blackhawk project
Yes I recall your revolver, a work of art. I am not so bad at fitting SS frames, think the brass will be easier. RW is doing a Bearcat Dragoon project for me, may send to Tyler Gun works, another experiment.

@RocDoc and JAYDAWG,
I just ordered two RW brass grip frames for a shooter project, a NM 1973 Blackhawk. I ordered a round and a square back trigger guard version. I never tried to fit a brass grip frame to a gun and buff it out. Do you guys have any pointers for me? Mike

Re: Super Blackhawk project
Advice: go slow, no power tools, I have done a few SS conversions that I got from Ruger via Midway. I use little jewler type files, emory cloth, and Scotch Brite pads to match brushed SS. Brass obviously softer, so go slower. Strip the frame of hammer, trigger and guts so you can test fit often. Will likely buff my brass frame bright, so will use a Dremel with Flitz on felt wheels, only after a perfect fit.
Re: Super Blackhawk project
Thank you, I will follow your advice. Maybe I can check back with you via pm if I am stuck at some point? Mike

I am not good at such things. I'm the guy who cuts a board twice and it's still to short!
My gun was at Turnbull, so I sent then the frame and they did it.
Good luck,

Jay,
I will give it a try. Like RocDoc says...no power tools.
