Model 520 Bowen .45 Colt

The Keith Brown fish hooks were delivered today, these babies are super nice. They may be a little too fancy for a no frills sidearm, but they are sucking me in.

That is a special "no frills sidearm" so I think the KBs would work just fine.

I was fortunate to bring this little gem home with me today.

I have some KB stocks arriving later today, we will see what they look like when they get here.

Which do you prefer?

My favorites are the ones above....

Very nice!

Smooth magnas!

Beautiful revolver, very classy with any stock you chose. For shooting the diamond targets would work for me.
The KB's for show. Just about the perfect S&W. Very jealous here.

While I'm partial to Spegel checkered Boots, I'm not sure it "fits" on the M520

Congrats on getting that gun, Love the 45 Colt round, that should be a sweet shooter... !! And I really like that round front sight. Nice overall package...

I think those checkered boots look just right on that beauty! I can't wait to get it out to the range. I am waiting for one other .45 Colt N frame to show up, so I can take them all at once. Range report to soon follow.

My Bowen .45 Colt conversion on a Model 28, Keith Brown Roper stocks...

That is gorgeous! They seem to go together pretty well!

I know this thread revolves around the stocks, but what caught my eye is the front sight (w/proud pin).

While I am a fan of Magnas with a grip adapter,

Those service stocks are too good to leave at home! The service stocks with a grip adapter would be sweet on that revolver. Or mine!

For shooting...the S&W diamond targets; for displaying...the KB stocks.

I agree with Bill, but if you can justify actually using the Keith Browns, then why not for shooting, too? Those are very nice, and they look great on your Bowen conversion. Beautiful combination.

I was fortunate to bring this little gem home with me today. A Model 520 .357 that someone added a lanyard swivel. When the previous owner purchased it from someone here on the forum, he then sent it in to Bowen Custom Arms for a makeover. It was given a . 45 Colt caliber change. The front sight was replaced with a half moon. The trigger and action is smooth as glass. It was sold to me with some wooden magna's. I tried on a set of relieved diamond target stocks, and an early set of pre-war gold medallion service stocks. I really like the way the gold medallions look, with the exception of being a little too long as expected. I have some KB stocks arriving later today, we will see what they look like when they get here. Which do you prefer?

excellent revolver !

All the grips in this post are great... for me service stocks with the old style grip spacer would be perfect.
