Franken-Ruger

Thanks!

Ernie, that is so cool looking. If the 44's measure up to the 357's, you will be the cock of the roost at the gun club.

Nice FR Ernie.
Hope you can get to the range for some test shots before the winter hits you

Eric Wallice put a Ross brake on my Contender barrel.He did a great job and did it while I sat and watched him.
I would like to try a rifle scope on it too.I am thinking the Vortec Dimondback HP 4-16x with a side focus might be just the ticket and it wont break the bank either

It's Here!

Outstanding I am really intrigued with these and will most definitely try one with a fast rate of twist in 44 Mag to shoot 275-325 grain cast LFN.

[ErnieBishop]

Glad you got to spend some time with Eric.
Been awhile since we visited.
Vortex should work fine.
Chambering?

On my 357 max and if I do not like the rifle scope on it I have a 243 rifle the scope would work just fine on.

They also have a 3-12 that im thinking about.I still have four Burris 3-12 pistol scopes if I don't like shooting the rifle scope on a pistol but i think i will really like the added FOV of the rifle scope over the pistol scope

I got rid of all of my 3-12's years ago. Now I kind of wish I still had one...

Smith and wesson 29 with custom 8 3/8 tapered barrel, crane ball, and more.

This is built with the lessons learned from our custom Franken Rugers. There is another thread on here with our stainless version.

[Ramjet-SS]

How about a nickel version? I have classic model 29 but it is nickel plated.

[BCgunworks]

I don't do much nickel in house anymore.

[Ramjet-SS]

so how about a high polished fire blu barrel sure contrast but it may actually look very unique.

[Plastikosmd]

Ok now you got me with a smith. Not a ruger guy. I will have to look for a donor gun for you now. Any caliber restrictions?

I do do plenty of nitre blue

I will contact you after Christmas so we can discuss.

[BCgunworks]

We were on handgun radio discussing the Franken Ruger.

[ErnieBishop]

That was cool.
I was amazed at how long that was.

[BCgunworks]

In June at WYSHOT we shall see if we can take a pdog at 400+ yards with the 44 Franken Ruger!

[ErnieBishop]

Will be shooting my 44 FR this week and maybe take a hog with it.

[BCgunworks]

Ernie running his 44 mag FR




His 100 yard group.

6" barrel. Factory ammo.

[ErnieBishop]

Lightweight 6" FR's shoot pretty good.
In the video we were getting zeroed with some Remington 240 factory ammo.
The way we set the Chrono while shooting at 100 yards, I ended up shooting the 3-shot group (Hornady factory 240 grain XTP's) right-handed. Yes, I am a lefty.
