In a previous post, a poster wanted to see additional bluing pron. At the Salmon River Custom, we're all about the customer service, so here ya go...
Attached you will find pics from a Ruger Vaquero I just finished. Originally it was a saddle-worn case-colored Vaquero, but the owner wanted it done with a S&W blue job. Notice that the warning label imprint has been 'removed' from the side of the barrel. This is a pretty accurate representation of what you can expect for $200.
Of particular note is the trigger guard. If the grind work is REALLY bad like it was on this gun, this is what you can expect for a final product. If the original metal work is atrocious like it was here, I really can't afford to make a career out of cleaning it up. But this is unusual, even for Ruger. Also, the "Vaquero" roll mark on the side of the frame appears to be partially wiped out. This is a Ruger faux pas; it was stamped uneven and crooked to begin with.
Cheers, Mike
