My Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley has been sent off to WMD Guns to be nitrided. I carry it often here in salty, hot Florida and have a bit of corrosion forming on the upper backstrap. Below is the before, I'll post an after once I get it back. They are working on it as I am typing this.

Love the patina on the Golden Boy, looks like an old 1866 Winchester.

YES! I felt the need.

No, not yet. They ran into a minor issue with removing the firing pin. There was a burr that kept it from being removed without destroying the firing pin. They got it out and ordered a new pin, $2.50 or so. Shouldn't be too much longer. I will let you know once I get it back. I'll post pictures before I even shoot it.

After I posted my intro story and Range Report on my new Vaquero http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=4261, I wanted it to be part of this excellent thread, too. Thanks to all who posted here....you've brought to light a lot of great history, and many sharp-looking photos of S/A revolvers.

Although I don't have a companion Henry rifle right now, here are two good companions to my .357 Magnum Six Gun, that will go along on my next deer hunt! :)

Everyone have a great day, and take good care.
