An Outdoorsman Becomes a Triple Lock....

[jack the toad]

... and I hope that it shoots as good as it looks.

If that's the case, then they'll all be in one hole.
Hey Dave, how about showing us some holes she's made???

 

[keith44spl]

• Mr.Dave, could you show some pictures of the front lock. You are all over old wrecks like a hound dog on a pork chops. Could you leave some for us guys following your example? Mark

  
  
  Mark,
  
  I haven't even wiped the red grease off yet.......

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

You're not gonna have this one for sale when you bring it out are ya? Just tell me no right now so I can enjou playin' with it a bit without worryin' about where I'm gonna get the money! Beautiful job, Dave, and blue is the way to go with this 'un. Love them 44 Specials!

Outstanding, so many great old features, victory snatched from the jaws of defeat, so to speak!

 

[lebomm]

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 !

[S&W ucla]

Well, took ya long enough to shoot it! LOL

 

[Iggy]

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.

 

[Buford57]

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".

 

[Pig Hunter]

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!

Theys could of been all in the same hole....But, I was grinning


so big, I closed my eyes and pulled the last two kinda high.

Beautiful pistol and beautiful job, and looks like it shoots up to its image..

 

[Wyo]

Looks like minute of prairie dog to me! Bring it along when ya come and we'll test 'er out! I never wonder whether your guns will shoot - they just all do!

 

[Lee's Landing Billy]

Yep.....I'm sure of it......I hate him! Really good shootin.

 

[Iggy]

Wyo,
You better git to scoutin' things out.. Rumor has it that the old dogs have been out since Feb. You're slipping.

 

[Green Frog]

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,
the Frog

Jim,

Sure enough! Do they have 3rd lock cam plates attached?

I have a TL NOS 455 Barrel I've been holding for a project.

 

[Trooper224]

My goodness, that's sexy.

 

[merl67]

If that is not art I don't know what is. What a great way to turn a mess into a masterpiece.

 

[keith44spl]

Dave ,

Only thing I can say about that that ain't already been said is ..... I wish you lived next door to me . Your projects remind me of my pap , he could build anything too . That is an awesome gun and a save not everyone could pull off with such success . You are getting right on up there with Elmer in my mind , keep em' coming !

Eddie

PS: That screams for one of those Keith/Brill shuck's you do so well . Looking forward to seeing what you pair it up with for keeps .

... A lit'l time in the tool shop and Wa-Lah ("Voilà".).........An EDC for riding the range.

One of my all-time favorite modified S&Ws. Fun to see this one run to the top again.

This is one of the greatest threads ever on a forum filled with amazing threads. The pictures, gun and leather are simply astounding.

Wyoming adopted another of Dave's doin's.

Every time Dave comes to Wyoming, it costs one of us some green backs.
If he decides to move out here, we'll go broke.


Dave snuck that one past me Monday. He already had WYO hooked anyway. Just as well, I couldn't afford to look at another of Dave's guns.
