Nice job Phil. I love these old SW project guns, mine are mostly HE 45s and 1917s. Looking for a barrel band front sight for one now. Could not find one at OGCA last week. Add some light lead loads and go shoot some cans.

Very nice!!
Nice guns Phil. Since you love Smiths so much I figured I'd let you know about the NE Ohio bunch meeting on Oct 1st. Watch the public lounge in Aug & Sept for the info. Had just over 50 people at the last one and we all had a good time talkin Smiths. Even had Keith Brown at it all the way from DAYTON. Larry

Inspired work for sure. No need to explain you motives. Some stuff just needs to be used and not discarded. A special kind of guy likes to put things back right. To bad more of us aren't like that. A tip of the hat to Ya !
Thanks again Larry, Joe, guys. I'm not sure if I can get to the northeast Ohio get together, but I plan to return from
Virginia and Delaware to attend the OGCA meet this weekend. I wouldn't want any rusted, busted gun deals to slip past me.
Let me interject something the sort of folks who hang out here could enjoy... The last couple of days I have been able to walk the summer woods of Virginia with a super accurized Stevens single-shot .22 rifle I built on an action about 100 years old. I'm not hunting anything...just looking and listening and walking. It's wondereful. I only fired one dead-on scoped shot at a walnut that didn't duck in time, just to check the sights.
I'm in woods belonging to a close lady friend of many years, with a summer home here. What is relevant is that we are only about 5 - 6 miles from "Montpelier", the plantation home of James Madison. As I was walking, I thought about words he wrote several hundred years ago, about how good he thought it was for his, and anybody's, physical and mental health to be walking these very woods around here, with a gun and nothing urgent to do. How right he was. He would remember much of this area as it was then, and what he thought in the 1700s is just as true today. It would probably be difficult to explain President Madison's philosophy to Chuck Schumer or Barry Obama, but the good down-home people around here understand. Let's do what we can, individually, to preserve it.

Phil, Even though it took parts from all over to finish your projects, I don't see anything Frankenstein about either.
One of these blue moons, I plan on taking a model 67 an turning her into a 3" round butt. Which I think is something the folks at S&W let fall through the cracks.
