Default New ICORE revolver project finished (almost)

I've finally put together a revolver I've wanted to build for a while. It is a 6" 28-2 with a few added things to make it a great set up for some competition shoots. I have done the following:

Full action work ( smoothing and honing)
Bead blasted and bobbed the hammer and smoothed the trigger surfaces and blasted them
Stippled the backstrap
Added a front night sight with rear white dot blade
Added a 627 unfluted cylinder, bead blasted as well
Blasted all the screw heads and cylinder release to match.
Also forgot it has JM grips as well


I still have more work to do but it is a fun shooter so far.
The first thing I need is a newer style wider frame lug to make up for the shorter cylinder so there isn't as much play with the cylinder open and I also will be cutting the cylinder for moon clips and chamfering the chambers. Also I wouldn't mind putting a custom barrel on it but this one still has lots of life left so I will use it this way for a while. I know I could have bought one much more suited for action shooting but I like older guns better and I also enjoy working on them as much as I enjoy shooting them

Looks like you're having fun playing around with a project and it looks good. What competition are you going to shoot with it?? Larry

Thank you. I plan on doing ICORE with it and probably lots of informal range shooting as well
