Steve499,
Way nice rig and I like the antiqueing. Looks really good. Did you draw file the bbl and frame? If not it still looks really great. Guess I'll bring home some Birchwood-Casey products this weekend. I really like the old look.
Talking about the distressed finishing. I saw an original pocket model Colt that had been ranch used, it had barb wire marks all over it where it had been used to twist tighten the fencing, hammer marks, knicks and cuts, the whole nine yards. Talk about character and charisma.
I suppose one could plug the bbl and chambers and drag a pistol thru the dirt and "charisma one up", whip it with chains and such, bury it in the back yard for 6 months. all tricks that can used to "Age", etc, but I think the old finish is cool enough.
Remington Kid,
That pretty well puts the old "gitting hit with a 44 and riding off" of the old westerns to sleep. If you ever got hit with that, it would knock you off the horse.
