6" .475 x 1.4 Express (.475 Linebaugh). Best Grade Ruger Bisley conversion with BoMar rear sight up-grade. Custom extra length ejector housing. Double dowel attachment holds this heavy housing securely even with the .475. Recoil is appreciable, 430 gr. Cast bullet @ 1350 fps. Best Grade Rugers feature our Half-Cock Conversion.
Alpha Precision performs the usual single action modifications: trigger job, barrel cylinder gap tightening, custom base pins, barrel shortening, custom barrels, barrel fitting, etc. We also produce our own cylinders of aircraft certified chrome moly or precipitation hardened stainless. Line bored chambering is available as well. Cylinders are available for Ruger New Model Blackhawks, and 3rd generation Colt single actions.
Taylor Throating is offered in .22, .32, .357/.38, .40, .41, .44, .45, and .475 calibers. Essentially, the barrel throat is lengthened one and one half to two calibers, and enlarged to slightly over groove diameter. The throat serves as the throat in a rifle barrel, enabling the bullet to become perfectly aligned with the bore before engaging the rifling. The "choking" effect present from tightening the barrel into the frame is removed as well. The rifling leade is a very gentle 1 ˝ degrees. On average, when tested before and after using a Ransom Rest, 50 yard groups have been reduced 40 to 50%.

Best Grade 4 5/8" stainless Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt. Flat top conversion with Bowen adjustable rear sight. Hammer is a modified Super Blackhawk, checkered 30 lpi. Best Grade Rugers feature our Half-Cock Conversion.
I am convinced Taylor Throating produces the greatest accuracy improvement value available. Line-bore chambering will produce the most accurate revolvers, but the cost is prohibitive for many. When the barrel is accurately recrowned; the forcing cone recut concentric to the bore; Taylor Throating is almost as accurate as line-bore chambering with a savings of several hundred dollars.
Alpha Precision Custom Grade Ruger conversions are available in Field Grade and Best Grade configurations. Both grades have custom cylinders and premium quality match barrels. Custom cylinders are free wheeling, that is they will rotate in either direction when the loading gate is open. They incorporate a heat treated bushing which extends the full length of the cylinder. There is twice the bearing area at the breech for longer lasting performance. Special base pins are made for a specific cylinder and frame so they do fit. The cylinders are chambered by the line-bore method, assuring the most accurate chamber/bore alignment possible. Chambers are minimum dimensions, yet will reliably function with conventional ammunition.

Best Grade 4 5/8" stainless Ruger Vaquero .44 magnum. S&W adjustable rear sight. Cylinder is 1.750" diameter (standard on our cylinders, .020 larger than factory), and is .100 longer than factory. The S&W sight is an attractive modification, reminiscent of custom Colts by King, Christy, and others in the 40’s and 50’s. Best Grade Rugers feature our Half-Cock Conversion.
Custom Rugers have special cylinder latches and latch supports. The latches provide much greater locking area in the frame and cylinder than factory, greatly strengthening the lock-up. The design will minimize "ringing" of the cylinder due to rubbing during rotation. You are free to pick and choose from an extensive list of custom features listed in the price schedule. Many prefer a "package’ approach, whereby combinations of enhancements are grouped together to provide the best value. Even within the packages, features may be added or deleted to suit.
Custom Grade Ruger Conversions are available in two levels of enhancement, Field Grade and Best Grade. Performance is the same, differing in finish and use of factory parts on Field Grade guns where accuracy, durability, and strength are not compromised.
5 ˝" stainless Ruger Bisley Blackhawk, .44 magnum. Ruger does not produce this configuration. To get one, you start with a stainless Blackhawk and a stainless Bisley Vaquero; swap and refit grip frames, hammers and triggers and you end up with the stainless Bisley. There is a stainless Vaquero left over to sell, or to use in cowboy competition, for instance. NOTE: Ruger is now selling stainless Bisley grip frames, hammers, and triggers, making this conversion much more economical. This Ruger features our Half-Cock Conversion.
