WHAT'S NEW AT ARMCO?

July 29, 2011 - a new S&W 610 converted to 4.2"...

May 9, 2011     More of Clarence's creations, first the new screwless method of fastening an Armco rib to a shortened Ruger Super Redhawk.  Next a gorgeous pair of ARMCO Covert Model 45's, CM0001 and CM0002.

This was once a 10 1/2" RugerSuper Blackhawk - Clarence shortened it to the length of the ejector housing - 5.5" - and it turned out beautifully - balances and points so nice!  Sold, but may give you some ideas  :)

Another one I'm keeping :)   An alloy framed Para LTC in 9mm.  Came as a black painted factory gun and got a full Armco tune/trigger job as well as a bead blasted frame and a beautifully blued top end.  Shoots sooo nice!

And this is a new 629 Classic 44 Magnum in  5" that Clarence removed part of the barrel lug on and reshaped it - looks more traditional and in my view way nicer  :)

I had my friend (and bluing/wood guru  :) Jim Ford do a complete restoration on my 1907 Winchester 351 Self-loader.  What a job!  He even found an envelope with a Saskatoon to Brandon postmark inside the buttstock, dated 1938.  This gun was made in 1910, and it was a favourite of prison guards from the 20's into the 40's... I suspect it may have been carried on the walls of the Prince Albert Penitentiary until privately purchased, possibly by this guy when he retired and then sold in 1938....  Hmmm....   I have a little ammo and know how to make more - at present this rifle is not for sale  :)

And now - a bit of a Photo Gallery picked at random from the last few years:
