Russian Wood ~~ grip colors & grains

Post by PT7 » Sun Feb 24, 2019 8:55 pm

When I post Range Reports, I like to include gun photos, too. Well, I didn't have any recent photos of my Russian .45 Colt top break when I shared my Range Report last Thursday. After I cleaned the revolver, I really liked how the Ballistol highlighted the wood grip colors and wood grains. So took some pics, and I'm sharing my favorite shot below.

The rainy weather over the weekend kept me inside, so where to do a mini photo shoot? Ah, the Henry wood game board I recently got looked to be a cool background. Wish the knights from my chess set were actual horses, since historically the Russian revolver was often used by WWI horse soldiers. ;) Even though I'm in the wrong time period with the two Gothic-style knights, I still thought the gun's wood and game board wood looked beautiful together!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
