The big sections and jobs are in place. Lotsa fine tunin comin to make it sing.

At this time we have a fully functional grip installation. No interference in the fire position, all components lay where they should be in battery.

Half notch for loading/unloading, no interference, all components locked in the proper position.

Full notch for firing...no interference, all components locked in the proper position.

Ruger OMBH trigger return spring and plunger installed in the filler block. Perfect function and tucked in tighter/less visible on this grip than it was in the original OMBH. So, time to loose the XR3-Red frame all together and finalize the Ligntning Style grip.

Spent a lot of time today tweaking. Finally settled on what I want.....readin over my thread I'd mentioned a single action carry, specially in the woods. Played with 4.5" barrel and 4" too. Even spent time moding the ejector housing and rod for 4" of barrel.

Ultimately I settled on sheriff style....3.5" of barrel (to stay out of the roll mark) and when I put it back together and looked it over....its right, specially with the new grip. Just gotta put a sight on it and I can go shootin again to make sure everything it right before moving on.

[Sharps40]

Hell, you ain't come this far just 'ta stop now!

 

[Sharps40]

Yeah. No way to remove the cyl pin with an ejector rod much below 4" long.

 

[Sharps40]

If I can finger out howta make this....I can put an ejector system on that short barrel. Gonna be a long sit on the milk crate!
