Among the finest single-action revolvers ever produced by Bowen
Classic Arms, this best-quality Ruger Old Model chambered for the
.32-20 features a tremendous amount of detail metalwork.
The top strap is welded up and remachined in the Smith & Wesson M&P
style, particularly handsome on a single-action revolver. To reduce
weight and add distinction, the recoil shield and loading gate are
scalloped. Two-piece grip frame parts were modified and installed.
The barrel is heavily tapered to further reduce weight and is fitted
with a dovetail front sight set in an integral base. A contoured,
regulated screw retains the ejector housing. Mechanical details
include tuning and a line-bored custom cylinder with flutes and
black powder chamfering.
The exterior metal is completely detailed and blueprinted and is
left in-the-white. All screws are regulated and nitre blued. Paul
Persinger produced the one piece ivory grips.
