I just got an three screw Single Six that has been burnt in a fire and I am trying to rebuild it. The grip frame is totally missing, and I am curious; are they the same as a three screw Blackhawk? I know the grip frames will interchange on the New Model Single six & Blackhawk but I don't know about the old ones (this is my first Three Screw) The gun did not get hot enough to ruin the springs so the gunsmith told me it should not have effected the heat treating to point of a safety issue. The finish is totally gone and a little pitted so I will either bead blast it then blue, or Duracoat it? The gun won't ever be pretty again, but I think it will be useable! The serial # is 4367xx I think that makes it a 1966?
Where should I look for a cheap grip frame? What will fit? I don't care about the finish condition at all, scrapes, dings, scratches, & dents are fine!
