An Outdoorsman Becomes a Triple Lock....
Sometimes things just work out for the best....A 44 Special.
Picked up a butchered TL, and then along came this here OD with a bad barrel.
A lit'l time in the tool shop and Wa-Lah (“Voilà”.).........An EDC for riding the range.
Some ask why?...Well, Jest cause it pleases me.
Many thanks to those of you that help made this come about, y'all know who you are.
Su Amigo,
Dave

Now it's unfortunate that butchered Triple Lock had a 4" barrel instead of the more common 6 1/2" barrel as a 4" barrel is rare. The 3 line barrel address on the side is proof that it was not a cut barrel. Nonetheless, however, a nice marriage of two otherwise salvageable revolvers.
When you say "butchered" relative to the Triple Lock, what do you mean? How bad?

Someone had attempted to re-configure the back strap
to a profile somewhat aliken to a SAA and failed purty bad.
After theys ground into the inards and the edge of the side plate...
They got out the stick welder and cold blue.
Bubbas....Make no mistake, theys walk among us

Can't think of a better sidearm to " ride the range" with. As usual your projects are works of art & craftsmanship in several areas. Very nice, made even better by it being a 44 spl.

Pretty cool Dave!
As I think this thru....from the fixed sight TL 44 spl, the barrel, cyl and yoke were installed in the OD frame. The front of the OD frame was milled for the TL cam plate on the 44 yoke.
If you used the OD side plate which I assume that of course you did, you now have the first ever 44 TL with a late pre war Type 2 side plate mounted hammer block!
I suppose you used the 44 TL action parts and therefore you have the TL short action!

Jim,
Yes, I did use just about all of the TL internals with the
exception of the hand....needed it to work the hammer block.
Of course I had to ream the bushing for the larger center pin
of the TL cylinder assembly and mill the OD frame to
accommodate the cam plate and tweak the yoke a lit'l bit...
It was worth it it all, I do believe.
Dave

Dave,
You did your usual awesome work!
Absolutely worth it, it's a fascinating melding of two different models. I can't think of a more exciting project. We've all seen a lot of barrel swaps, caliber conversions, and target conversions. But this is the pinnacle of a one-of-a-kind unique revolver transplant. And certainly the 'long way around' to make a factory target model!
Oh that's right, the ctr pin locking hole in the recoil shield would need reaming for the slightly larger TL pin.
A giveaway that the frame is not a TL, (besides the non matching serial #s and the post 1935 large logo on the side plate) is the divot in the recoil shield lip. The TL ctr pin has spring tension to the front, so TL frames do not have the divot.
The best TL rescue I've ever heard of and still with original finish! What a fun conversation piece.
Hand that to other S&W collectors and time them to see how long it takes them to figure out it's not a stock TL and then the time to figure out what it truly is. If they can't figure it out, for a hint, show them the hammer block in the hammer channel (SMILE).

Keith44spl and I were having an e-conversation about another topic and this project came up. I was blown away then and am even more impressed as I see additional information and pix today. I've never even seen a Triple Lock get damaged and then salvaged, much less watched the process go through to such a glorious conclusion. As I said in private, I'll say in public, "Ya done good, old friend, ya done real good!" You've proven once again you live up to your screen name and show the rest of us the things dreams are made of. This old gun and you both would "do to ride the river with." Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
the Frog

Please, please don't even consider refinishing this, (ahem), special prototype revolver. Wearing the remnants of experienced factory finish just gives this beauty a special kind of class !

A shooter as well as a looker. Well, that's what we have come expect from Dave.
I've got 3 of Dave's guns and they shoot where you point them. Trouble is with guns like that, there ain't no alibis.

Wow! Just wow!
Now make sure the guys who are tracking the ODs get the SN for their database so they know one of their young'uns is "all growed up".

Mr. Dave, looks like that hogleg wants to shoot. Why don't you just pack it up and send it on up to me and I'll do some load development for you so there all in one hole. Now it may take a bit to get it just perfect, so try to be patient!

Some things never change... except to get BETTER! Way to go, Dave! To have two sets of parts from guns built a couple of decades apart go together so seamlessly AND shoot that well too, well it's just almost too good to be true. Keep those inspirational posts a'coming!
Su amigo,
