How about replaceing it with a brass one? Dennis

Isn't that an option over paint type coatings?

...convertible to Birdsong for their "Black-T" finish. He recommended it for nice appearance and durability, and I have been very pleased with it.

Right. Worthless. I would hang my head in shame if I had such a weapon as that. Just send it my way and I will save you the embarrassment of .41 ownership.

Your various baked on gun finishes would look bad on a Turnbull finished revolver. If you can't go high polished aluminum go with a steel frame.

The Ruger Old Army frame will fit and work. The trigger slot is a mite too wide, but a brass plate fitted to the inside of the grip frame, with a slot in it for the trigger will cure that.

I might agree to pay half the shipping costs to take that worthless caliber revolver off your hands, if you asked nicely.

Totally worthless caliber...you should send it to me just to avoid the shame!

Fit a steel frame and polish and blue to match the other blue parts...

I have had Ruger cased by him with a polished aluminum grip frame...didn't like it and sent it back to by fitted with a steel one....

This .41 Magnum is a nice gun with the exception of the worthless caliber...

Have you asked Turnbull what they recommend? (reply)

Yes I was there yesterday. They don't do anything with aluminum grip frames.

I thought about polishing it up. I have done that in the past but I wanted a blued look.

If it is a steel grip frame blue it.

If it is a aluminum grip frame polish it, or replaced it with a blue one.

I'm going to have Turnbull's color case and blue my OM flat top but wasn't sure what to do with the grip frame. A local place can do ceracoat. I was thinking of having it done in that? They do work for Remington in a ceracoat finish that looks good. Thanks.
