Marc did metal work, a complete action job, put a Wiley Clap barrel on it, cut the cylinder for moon clips, etc, etc, etc….


Wow, for a "beater" gun that turned out remarkably nicely, but then again it probably should considering you had the deluxe package of upgrades performed on it. The grip stocks in particular really have me interested in whether that addition might improve my snub nosed shooting experience.

Sounds like Gemini does good work. Thanks for taking the time to share the pics and also for answering my questions.

Hi Savage, yes they do excellent work. Here are some before and after pics of the 3" GP100. I had this for a while and it had seen its fair share of dings. I bought it used and it looked like previous owner had dropped it a couple times.













I had never sent a gun in for this kind of work, or spent this kind of money upgrading one. I think it turned out great.


Regards,
Waco

It looks great!

How did the action turn out? Once tuned up, the Rugers can be very nice.

Nice. A wheelgun is still on my wish list.
