another sidewinder

ephraim · June-10-13 12:06

I just bought another SW. My son-in-law called to tell me a local hardware/gun shop had two in, at a good price last Friday. I asked him to tell them to stick it in a drawer, and I would pick it up today, which I just did. The other one sold before it went on display ( in fact neither went on display) . I have an EB conversion and did not plan on another. dbgUSMC engraved a set of wood grips for me, and did a beautiful job. I have aged ivory grips on the EB, which I did not want to take off, so I pretty much had to buy another gun. I think Uncle Lee got us started on this two of every gun thing. I still have to stain the engraved wood ones before I install them . Thanks David. great engraving of a sidewinder.

Just very nice pieces thank you . How about some close ups of those ivory grips other angles maybe the inside would like to see how they finished them off .

I am going to try to remember that line, LOL.

Nice pair of Sidewinders for sure. I am hoping for a longer barrel before I splurge on a pair. Be sure to post some photos when you get those grips stained!

Thanks all.
OV-1D, here are some pictures of the ivory grips
Flint. my EB is 131, the one I got today is 1060. I am sure more than that are out there!
Dinadan, after I stain them I will post picutures. Have not decided what will give the best effect.

No problem I am glad you like them. You have some great luck finding these sidewinders. They look great!

I'm also waiting for the Sidewinder to come out with a 2.5 to 3.0 inch barrel.

My pleasure. Thank y'all . I appreciate your interest and comments. I enjoy seeing other folk's stuff as well. There are a lot of nice accessories out there, and it is interesting to see all the different varieties. This forum does have a lot of people posting cool pictures.
