I saw this old post from 2012 and thought I would bring it back from the dead as a tribute to Alan one of the GREAT Gunsmiths and friend.
I first met Alan in 2002 and introduced him to the Ruger Forum Guys. Up until then he wasn't know to many outside of Houston as the Outstsnding Gunsmith that he is. He was doing a lot of work for us CAS shooters in the area. Also it was about this time that he was intoduced to Joe Bowman by one of the CAS shooters. He built up 19 OMs into 3 screw Vaqueros for Joe.
The first guns I had him do for me were Flattops that he converted to 45 Colt among other things. Then the list goes on and on. The last two were the ROAs that he finished last Sept.
Notice that these are 3 screw 357s made into Vaqueros
