Clockwise from the top they are: Uberti Remington Revolving Carbine, genuine Remington New Model Army (re-blued, but completely numbers matching and martially marked), antiqued/browned Pietta 8" barrel, Pietta 8" with ported Kirst Konverter in .45LC/.45ACP w/extractor, Pietta 5 1/2" w/ R&D Conversion in .45LC.

Enjoy- Let's see YOUR pics!

Bull,
I'd be totally honored for you to use the pictures of my pistols.
Thanks for the flowers.

Bull Schmitt · January 12, 2006, 05:45:31 PM

Thanks pards. I'll get the pictures up on the web site within the next update in a couple days.

Marshal Will Wingam · January 12, 2006, 06:00:39 PM

Here's a pic of one of mine. I'll post them both after I finish the gated conversion.

Bull Schmitt · January 16, 2006, 09:16:19 PM

Okay pards I got your pictures uploaded to the SCORRS website.

Marshal Will Wingam I am going to hold off on yours until you have the gates completed and are ready to have the picture of the completted pair posted.

Thanks for contributing the pictures.

Marshal Will Wingam · January 16, 2006, 11:31:32 PM

I got the gate done. Here are a couple photos of it, but they were taken indoors the other evening. I will post better pictures when I can take some. LOL, I'm getting tired of the same old blue carpet, so I'll try to be more creative. Now I shoot one with an R&D drop-in and one with the Kirst gated conversion, both in .38. This pistol is the same one shown in my post above.

Oldelm · January 16, 2006, 11:58:30 PM

Marshall,......nice porting job you done there

That 2nd pic, the closeup of gate, is nice but would be good if lightened some so as to make
details of the contour of gate against the cylinder,......that gated Kirst is interesting.
thanks for posting those pics

Yankee John · January 17, 2006, 12:28:22 AM

Looks terrific Marshal- like a factory-made job!

Question: What did you us to blue your cut-out? It looks great and has great coverage!

Just wondering,
John

Smokin Gun · January 17, 2006, 12:55:28 AM

Damn good Job there Marshall...that's one to be proud of.

Halfway Creek Charlie · January 17, 2006, 07:51:15 AM

Great Job Marshall!
Let us know what kinda blue you used.

The gated Kirst in 44 Rem is my next purchase to put in my new(to me) 2000 '58 it is still in the blue and i just might leave it that way....maybe.....uh...OK I laid it down and stepped away. LOL

Marshal Will Wingam · January 17, 2006, 10:45:40 AM

The pictures were taken at night with a flash. they've already been lightened as much as I could. Any more and everything greys out. I'll be able to post better photos as soon as I get a chance to take them in daylight.

The bluing is Birchwood Casey Super Blue, the one in the 3 oz bottle, not the touch-up pen or paste. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=4942&title=METAL+FINISHING+PRODUCTS I cleaned the area with lighter fluid first then put it on with a Q-Tip, rubbing it with a soft cotton rag afterward. A couple coats and it's done. Great stuff. If you get it on the areas that are already blued, it will make a noticable color change so be sure to rub it immediately after putting it on. It works fast.

Marshal Will Wingam · January 17, 2006, 01:58:45 PM

Here'a a better photo of my Ubertis. The top one has an R&D drop-in cylinder in it and the bottom one has the Kirst gated conversion. Both are .38 spl.

Oldelm · January 17, 2006, 05:22:44 PM

Real nice, Marshall! Good porting job for that Kirst. I'll bet those are real sweet shooters,....think I remember your sayin you had the barrels lined to .357,..... at least on one of 'em.

Marshal Will Wingam · January 17, 2006, 06:14:18 PM

You remember right, Oldem. They've both been sleeved. Kenny Howell at R&D did the work. Great job at reasonable rates. They're both tack-nailers.

Old Baldy · January 18, 2006, 11:45:05 AM

I edited my post on the first page, but the picture came out real little. I am new at this stuff.
