Do you want to share the process you used to make it look awesome?

My neighbor across the street has a 67 and he literally doesn't believe in ever cleaning a gun. Your before picture looks better than his.
You've done a nice job deserving of a fine revolver.
God bless,

Great job - it looks really good ... well, except for that Ace Hardware screw holding on your grips ...

Nice stainless Combat Masterpiece.
I'm looking at one locally, but the guy is asking close to $600.00 for it.
Clean, original grips. No box or docs. I'm waiting him out.

Very nice! My dad picked up a late 70's model 67, recently. Nice shooting revolver. Love those K frame 38's

Well done Sir, well done indeed! The only clean used revolver I bought last year happened to be a very nice 67. It's surprising some times what a little intelligent "elbow grease" can do. Enjoy that one!

Nice 67, and transformation! I find that style of stock quite comfortable. I think they are a knock off of Herrett. I have a 67 no dash. What's not to like about a 67? Bob

Frankly, I prefer the Pachmayr grips to the Sile ones. I have them on my M-66-3 and other guns.

Well, today I installed a set of magna grips on it, just do not seem right. Too much metal overhang I think and, not very comfortable. Could these be for a "J" frame?

Tomorrow I get to snatch up a new to me 67-1 that had formerly been incarcerated in a Florida Penal Institution. It is only hoped mine will come out looking as good as Arm's. Though I seriously doubt it since she was badly scratched with an electric scribe. Great job Arm, you done good. hardcase60

Looks to be stainless rear sight which indicates
a first year production of 1971.

Definitely K frame stocks, but they are incorrect for your gun. Those are PC magnas, your gun should have standard magna style stocks on it. Good job on the transformation!

I picked up this sweet first year 67 a few weeks ago. I just had to have it to go along with it's cousin, the model 15.

I recently picke up a 4" Model 64 in excellent shape but I'd like to improve on the stainless finish. I have some Mother's, will this do the job?

Here is my 67 no dash. Got it about 15 years ago. Badly abused, pitted,
etc. I had it bead blasted. I like the finish. Here left to right:
Gun only left side.
Gun other side with Oliver Ball carved "dog ear" leather.
Gun with Myres #624 holster, Sparks belt, & Benchmade knife.
Gun in replica of Chic Gaylord Combat Speed Scabbard by Lefty Lewis
who does business as Bell-Charter-Oak.
Gun in a Hank Sloan holster by Bucheimer.

Mother's works just fine. That's what I'm using on the "new to me" 4", Model 67-1. For a high shine polish you might have to use a buffing wheel at reduced RPM. Blasphemy, I know, but it works.
