    Nasty Squall .45 Frame PD181


    Blazer .45 frame Nasty Squall PD181

    Okay... here is a "project" Nasty squall
    It was originally powder coated black but about 20% of the powder coat was gone so I decided to take the rest. It'll probably need another coat of paint remover since there is definitely still some in all the nooks and crannies.

    .45 frame has some gnarly pitting. It is also missing the safety.. although I may have it somewhere if I can find it!

    New Fast change will need to be extended right around 1.5 inches.

    Due for a rebuild. I got this right around a year ago and it had been sitting for 15 years. +1 on my end.

    Re-powder coating would be a great option as a small portion of brass is shining thru.

    The bore size is .690 but has a detent and wedgits.



    Asking $550 shipped Conus. Up north pay the difference? I've been shipping mostly UPS ground recently due to prices, just a warning!


    Here is a ton of photos

          Forreal. I got lucky with this one and had to do a double take.

        A very rare bird worth a full restoration. There are shops that will strip the nickel even if PPS doesn't like to do it or have it done. Can't wait to see it all freshed.

          I’m not too concerned with the cosmetics. I still think she’s a looker. I just plan to finish stripping the rest of the powder coat and getting her running. Can’t wait for mail day!
