Conversion of Ruger Blackhawk to Bisley grip frame
Is this a major operation or a DIY. I have an early new model Blackhawk in 45 (1974) I have toyed with converting. Looks like the grip frames are about to dry up. Anybody tried this? Also, would the stainless grip frame work on a blued revolver? I was thinking it would keep me from having to put a finish on it.
