I had a customer bring me a model 28 smith that I could take to the limits.
It started out as a nice old gun I milled of the front sight and plunged hole for a pin on front.
Then the body work started and I spent about 15hr with a sanding block to get the gun ready for finish.

We decided to use a gold bead sight there are lots of ways to install this sight but I chose a method that would look the most true to its age.

The grips were special order and I spent 5hr getting them to fit the gun the way a custom set of grips should then they got 10 coats of hand rubbed oil to make them feel like they should.

This gun got all the body work plus bob the hammer, trigger reconteur, action job, crown, cylinder face polish, straiten the ejector rod, and a lot of love.
