Someone recently did a welfare check on Ken. He's fine.

Yes, he's waiting on better weather to re-open his workbench...Should be soon now...Fortunately for me, I have a few put away in case of emergency......Ben

A beauty. A little renaissance wax will make it really shine.

Occasionally Big Mt Man will list elk and moose antler grips for sale. I’ve never seen his work in person but it’s supposed to rival Grasshorns.

You should do yourself a favor......Ben

Those are some good looking grips. If you decide to thin the collection let me know…

Then I would have fewer, and more is always better than fewer...But I'll confess there have been times when a smooth talker has conned this old country boy into a reluctant trade......Ben

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I took delivery of this beautiful Hogleg yesterday as an early 10 year anniversary gift from my wife. Model 27-2 with a 3.5” barrel; my preliminary search of the S/N looks like it was made in 1973. I believe the finish to be original. I just pulled the grip panels and confirmed they are serialized to the gun. I plan to carry this and I have already gotten in the queue for some Grashorns elk stag grips and some American Holly grips from Zane Thompson. Next is a holster from Barranti Leather. I’m also hoping to find a Tyler T Grip for it. This is probably the nicest revolver I own and I believe I got it for a very fair price. Very excited to take it out shooting.

You're going to love it...congrats!

There's not much of a turn line on that cylinder. You need to work on that.

Don’t worry I will work on that soon!

Congrats on the 27-2! There is something special about a 3 1/2" M27, I am glad that I found mine!

1971 with Grashorns and t/grip, rounds fired at 25 yards-yeah I’m no bullseye shooter lol. Looks more like I used a shotgun!
