Re: Colt Python: Truly The Best Revolver?
|
Tinker sent these pics and a description of a project he worked on .. very cool work and workmanship..
Below is Tinkers description per the text message..
This is a Python-themed full custom-to-death Colt Commando
We rebored a Python barrel and rebored the Commando cylinder for 41 Special
The frame was extensively welded and machined (and filed and drawn and grained...) to a slightly scaled-down version of the Python.
Ultra cool.
We named it Sidewinder.
See the images, showing the progression from welded Commando to the Python contours.
Really fun project.
I figured you would get a kick out of it.
Shared this with you as I'd seen your posting of the Python article.
