Blued, barrel shortened to six inches, action job and new grips. I sold it to my brother in law who made another like it for cas.
Work done by the late Bob Shaw.

I'm sorry I sold it. I have it now to fix timing, I hope. Maybe I can talk him out of it. j

Love the grip on your gun, is it made by Ajax ?

About $30 a pair. They have a Colt like contour and make the gun feel really different.

Vintage Gun Grips Inc. main manufacturing plant is located Here in Casselberry, Fl. north of Orlando.
They make a very good product.
I have visited with them, trying to get the them to make the red and black mottled colored grips as you can find on some period revolver grips. (S&W and MH grips).
They say they can't do that color variation. However, their overall selection, color choices and fit are great!
My best,
Blair

Those look awesome. I love my 5.5 inchers.

That is a nice looking Remington.

I replaced the bolt and it now just cocks and locks like it should. I am going to wait and ply him with wine to see if he will sell one. I want my gun back! One of the few I regret selling.
