This is a great thread. What a cool project. I'm looking forward to seeing how she turns out.

Total so far for general interests' sake:
* Ruger: $440 ($400 + $30 shipping + $10 transfer)
* Python barrel: $290
* Shipping to Smith, Fedex insured: $24

Running total: $754
:thumbs2: I have my calender set to check back in 8 weeks! :cool:

I'm glad others appreciate it, or I might start to suspect that I'm a trifle odd...
What do you mean by trifle? :cool:

Andy,

Does that price include a trigger job on the Ruger? I have a 70's vintage Security Six that needs a trigger job but don't know anyone that can do that. Sure would like to get it slicked up.
