For sure. I couldnt get that darn gun to shoot too good, but it works great for HUGH! Thor

Beautiful picture of a beautiful (and very interesting) pistol. Those grips really set off the whole presentation. Excellent..thanks for sharing!

Dan Clemons · 04-13-2002, 04:53 PM

Beautiful piece. Three extra inches really makes a difference, doesn't it?

Hugh · 04-13-2002, 06:51 PM

I don't know Dan, unless you can find a 8" bbl somewhere!

Thor · 04-13-2002, 06:57 PM

Dan, just use one of your Arty's (I seem to remember you have a shooter) and buy some Winchester Silver tip ammo. Bullet is soft and should do well out of the 8" barrel for blasting varmits! Hugh's barrel was made from a 30 Caliber surplus rifle. Dont know who made it! He is firing a hot hand load to make it work right! The barrel is really heavy especially at the muzzle. Thor

Thor · 04-13-2002, 07:02 PM

Barrel was made from a rifle 03 I think and slugged .309" Thor

Thor · 04-13-2002, 07:18 PM

It is not a standard sight block/barrel band! A real "work" Thor

Thor · 04-13-2002, 07:24 PM

Here is a BEFORE picture of that front sight! Thor

Boy! Ted! Looking at that reminds me of what a fantastic job you did refinishing that bugger!

Thor · 04-13-2002, 07:42 PM

Thank dude! Want to see more?

Rick,

The bbl is .600 at the breech end, .535 just in front of the "step", and .530 just behind the front sight band.

Dan Clemons · 04-14-2002, 12:27 AM

Another first rate job on your part! I saw the before pictures. Do you ever get an easy one to do?

Dan

Thor · 04-14-2002, 12:38 AM

Yes, thanks to Luke, he always give me quality pieces that are nice to start with but a little lacking in the bluing department while metal work is minimal! I do have challenges though! The salt bluing is new so it is exciting to me. The P.38s I have done so far are phenomenal and very accurate! Thanks for the compliment! Thor
