CUSTOM .44 PISTOLAS By Hawk’s Gunsmithing
This exquisite, custom made set of revolvers was generously donated by George (Chip) Stark. George had the set custom made specifically for the 2014 Elk Camp by Hawk’s Gunsmithing in Anchorage, Alaska. Andy Hawk started with a Ruger Super Black Hawk Bisley Hunter, fitting it with a 5½-inch octagon barrel. He crafted the grips out of beautiful Dall sheep horn he found in the Brooks Range Mountains of northern Alaska. Andy added a number of aftermarket upgrades such as an Elmer Keith #5 oversized base pin and a Hamilton Bowen Rough Country rear sight. The front sight bases are machined from scratch and dovetailed to accept New England Custom Gun patridge front sight blades. The pistols were then sent to worldclass engraver, James White of Wasilla, Alaska, and James added beautiful embellishments turning this set into a high-end collector’s set. Andy Hawk has been gunsmithing for more than 27 years. He is widely known for not only his huge array of gunsmithing repairs but also for his incredible craftsmanship with custom pieces. When he’s not in the shop, you can find him guiding brown bear hunts on Kodiak Island. George, Andy and James have really outdone themselves, and this is truly an impressive set. George Stark has contributed more than $9,500 to the RMEF’s Partners in Conservation program.
