Bobby Tyler of Tyler Gun Works joins Brownells Gun Techs to discuss the current hot market for revolvers. With new factory revolvers scarce, TGW offers 'pre-customized' Ruger Vaqueros, Blackhawks, and Bisleys with action jobs, accuracy packages, and upgraded parts. The video highlights popular modifications like improved grips and sights (Bowen, Fermin Garza, Freedom Arms) and details the benefits of action jobs and accuracy enhancements such as tighter barrel-to-cylinder gaps and muzzle crowning. TGW also works on classic rifles like the Winchester Model 71 and Browning B-78, and maintains an inventory of vintage firearms.
This video details the process of transforming a standard Ruger Blackhawk into a custom revolver, showcasing the affordability of such projects. The build includes a Bisley grip frame conversion, barrel shortening, custom engraving, color case hardening, and upgraded sights. Expert gunsmithing techniques like barrel setbacks and forcing cone cutting are highlighted, resulting in a firearm with a 2 lb 9 oz trigger pull and a .002-inch cylinder gap. The total build cost is presented as a value proposition compared to high-end production 1911s.
