I have been searching every where for a 44Mag Vaquero to match my first SA revolver.
I have since picked found a 7.5" SBH and the NMSBH is a bit excess to requirements.
I have a very talented gunsmith machinist mate who has performed some magical machining tricks for me in the past (repairing stretched 1866 action by welding up the pivot hole and relocating it further forward to take up the headspace, etc). He reckons he can convert the NMSBH to fixed sights.
Anybody ever tried this?
There is plenty of meat to play with on the backstrap, but isn't the hardening on the surface?
The top one is the model and the bottom one is the intended victim.
