I acquired a hole bunch of S&W small parts a little over a year ago and immediately got a bug to build my own unique custom revolver. Well here it is. Built on a 4" nickel model 15 frame, with a model 10 cylinder and crane. It was filled up with a model 66 smooth trigger, rebound, hand and a mod 19 hammer. I then finally found a model 14, 8 3/8" barrel. Since the parts came with the tap set to mount a scope and I had a mount in stuff accumulated over the years, decided why not give it a shot.
Then I bumped into the perfect optic to top it off with. The first battery free red dot and as old school as they get. A Weaver Quick Point makes it the most unique revolver I have ever owned. It is also minute of 5 gallon bucket at 70 yards (just tested at my cabin).
The only thing left is deciding between leaving it as is, rat rodded of refinish. It does also need a set of grips befitting the final finish. I have a couple sets of square frame target grips but they would only look in place if refinished properly. I do have a femur from a 400 pound black bear that if done proper would make it look perfectly in place in any Mad Max movie.
What do you folks think. Rat rod Mad Max or refinished purdy?
