Here is my Ruger Vaquero (old model) wearing the "ivory" grips I made for it.

Very nice. I've been thinking of doing an actual Krist conversion to my Walker.

Beautiful Walkers Richard. I love the one that you removed the bluing from the cylinder like an original.

That top one is the kit you built, correct?

If that conversion cylinder wasn't sitting there, that could be mistaken for an actual Walker. Great shot Capt.

Hi Dave, the above Walker is the kit gun nitride finished. The one below is the factory Walker with a cylinder I nickel plated. Most of the original Walkers had the cylinder in the white because hot bluing would change the temper where the cylinders would sometimes fail.

Regards,
Richard

Nice guns, Richard. Do you shoot'em? Do you load with the arbor or with a press?
