This Rossi RanchHand converted to MaresLeg is an older project done for DPris Denis Prisbrey. Denis did an article on it for the Guns of the Old West magazine.

Since that came out I have had several folk send RanchHands for this conversion.
This feller wanted a more original look. more antiqued.

This feller wanted something a bit more flashy. Tu-tone Blue with nickel accents

I'm almost done with these two. They were both blue gun but now have Rogard's NP3+.
Notice the knurled muzzle caps. These will get suppressors too.

The Ranch Hands and the suppressed carbines got me to thinking on a project for myself. I'm thinking of building an SBR using a RanchHand with a carbine stock added and thread it for a suppressor. That would make it a carbine length gun.
Here's an old 92 that was a real rust bucket. This was a family gun so he wanted it up and running so he could use it for CAS.
It was heavily pitted even after some draw filing but the bore was good. To cover the pits we decided on a flat dark blue then add the nickel accents.
