Well what was suppose to be two weeks turned into two months.

Between super long work weeks and chores I haven't even had time

to look at a Dan much less work on one, but finally…. today.

 

This is the 44 that "Master Machinest and bluing Guru" Eric at EWK Arms

did for me a couple months ago. Here's the link on the original story.

All the little parts:

The frame and trigger guard that got reblued:

All together :

Oops !  Damn hammer put a nick when I was driving in the roll pin for the

firing pin bushing. yell

Oh well, you don't really see it…unless your the jackwagon that did it I guess.

Well as anyone who has had a Barney Dan knows direct sunlight will

bring out any sign of plum. So lets see..

Looks good to me but only time will tell if Eric's secret formula will

cure the plum. Fingers are crossed !

 

Now for the real deal, she ain't worth jack if she don''t run so six

in SA and six in DA from 20 yrds off hand and she runs sweet !

Looks like taking the scope off didn't change POA much, atleast

short range anyway.

 

And yes for the accountants I missed one (damn I hate DA confused)

Mighty nice looking 44 you have there!  Give us another report later on and let us know if the Barney has been banished for good.

Glad to see it back together, looks great!!!!!!!!!! worship

I'm hoping the super secret formula will keep 'er black! I'm optimistic, usually the top secret methods are the ones that work. wink

Blacktop,

 

That is real sweet!  Nice group there too.  No worries about the miss, I can't shoot DA at all, I may as well throw the revolver at someone as try DAbig-grin

There is something about a DW with a scope that turns me on. That one did the trick, it is a beautiful job you did there.
