Take a look before I destroy it........

 I don't remember how I ended up with a 1915 favorite that some one had cut the top tang off and the bottom one was cut in 2 places then brazed one break and bugger ark welded the other into something it never remotely ever looked like. So I figured Id play with an idea and see if it would work out and bingo, After finding a local that can blue steel, I got it done. The barrel is cut from a Ruger 10/22 with a mini14 cut sight soldered on top and threaded in to the receiver. The rest is fab-ed up from scrap. This was my second color case hardening try at it with my home made out fit. The flyers are sight ins with CCI std vel at 32' from a wood block rest. This was like a mountain climbing expedition. Once its done, it needs to become a memory before some federally gets his shorts up in a knot.

Ruger barrel mounting groove welded up to get a Luger style barrel formed out of it.

I doubt it has a serial number. I'd call it a home made handgun and roll with it. Stevens also made pistols. I don't know how one would go about proving what it once was. Don't destroy it. It looks great.

 

I'd interested in hearing more about you color case hardening setup if you would indulge us sometime. I'd bet I'm not alone in that.

 Thanks for the comments. As for the beaver tail on a BHP, the fly in that soup is after welding that much material onto the back web spur, it will be brittle where the weld cooled on the frame steel. So it should be stress relieved once again and just doing that is a marginal band aid. In reality it should be re hardened out to some 1500 deg F , quenched and then re heat treated to get it back to spec again. I'm not familiar with the details of the exact specs so personally, I would pass on the job. One thing to keep in mind is the round spur hammers are a bit on the small side as to thumb grip and a beaver tail would need to be cut just right as to not loose any control over the spur.

 I have some pics of the CCH set up so I'll do a post on it. maybe tonight.
