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

Ruger and barrel are on the way to the 'smith in Austin via FedEx insured - expected return around 8 weeks.
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
I have my calender set to check back in 8 weeks!

Good, you can remind me because I intend to forget all about it until I get "The Call"

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

Even if you are, Andy, it's still pretty cool. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Alex Hamilton just called me - the Couger is done and being shipped to me overnight, so Monday is likely but Saturday is also possible.
Is Alex Hamilton in Austin now?

Did Aaron Burr test fire it first?
(Sorry I had to)
I can't wait to see pictures.

How much for getting it engraved with a cougar and all the other BBQ gun finery?

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.
