Looking for a gunsmith

[biker bo]

I have always liked the Fitzgerald Colts . There is no way I can afford one ...... Starting at 5000 . I know a lot of people are going to bust a vain about being unsafe. first of all I don't plan on carrying it second of all many famous gunfighters from the 30s and 40s carried them including Rex Applegate.

I have a Colt army special that locks up tight but it's pretty rough on the outside.
I would like to find a Smith that would convert it to a Fitz special.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Looks like a good choice for a little custom work. I don't see any problem doing a little Fitz conversion work to that one.

Would you be interested in taking on this project ?

Charter Arms makes an ugly little .44 with no sights and a stubby little ported barrel..
I'd sure love me a Fitzed wheelgun though.

I've been wanting one since I fist saw an article about them.

Just for range use?

Thats what I planned on. But after taking it out of the safe and handling it i decided to leave it as is.

I'd call Doug Turnbull. Spendy but excellent work.

Check with "Bubba". I hear that he has a couple of files and a grinder. And, I heard that he does excellent work. LOL. Not to mention that he does work for cheap. A six-pack of his favorite beer should do.



Actually, I remember seeing those in magazines and books. Thanks for the memories.
