I finally broke down and ordered my custom shop Encore and a barrel from MGM in .460 SW, in 2 weeks im going to give the checkbook another hit when I order my Leupold variable. Hopefully in 8 weeks when MGM gets the barrel out I will have the trigger job completed, scope ready to mount and can start putting some rounds through her.

Yay cant wait!

always fun waiting for a new gun but then you always want another one.

Congrats! And PLEASE show eye candy!!!!!!!!

Anticipation
One has to be patient when putting something special together. You are nearly always waiting on others to complete something. A custom bullet mould 6 Weeks. A custom revolver months.
I have been waiting on Midway to get a set of Hogue Tamer grips back in stock for a month. With a new revised In-Stock date of 6/28 I looked around and found them in stock at Mid South and ordered from them. Now maby today or tomorrow.
I bought a heavy duty lead melting burner without a hose and regulator. The gas company has regulators on order. I am waiting on them to start melting down three 5 gallon buckets of wheel weights for bullets.
Between funding a project a piece at a time, and waiting on others for specialty work one must be patient to be a handgun hunter. Being independntly wealthy would sure smooth out the bumps some though.

When you get your 460 together, I hope it is everything you envisioned it to be. Looks like you had a plan on exactly what you were building.

Sounds great siyakadog. I just took delivery of a .460 S&W MGM barrel a couple of weeks ago. It is a full-bull, fluted barrel and it is 14.5" long with the Holland brake. I am currently waiting on a forend from GA Jim to complete the setup. I also need scope rings, a Stratton custom hanger bar, and a shellholder (my .45 LC shellholder wouldn't work with my Hornady .460 S&W brass).

Best of luck with your new setup!

I was inspired 20yrs ago when I was 14 a guy at the range had a contender he was practicing for deer hunting in MO. I have always loved pistol shooting, but didn't really get into deer hunting till the last 10 years, but with kids I never got enough cash for what I really wanted. We always party hunted with shotguns for deer. Then last year I guided my girlfriend on a muzzleloader hunt. Had a blast sitting in the stand vs party hunting. So I decided to go deer hunting with handgun for this year. Plus I won a gun at a banquet, I knew when I won I didn't want it so I sold it the next day and have been holding a envelope with cash marked "Encore don't open" for months now!!!

So yea I knew exactly what I wanted!!!

New custom grips will be next! I just ordered the walnut grips for now, cuz I hate synthetic. Every paycheck I get something else, I should have my paychecks garnished for gun accessories!!!!

Kirby Allen pistol ordered 1 year only 6 months to go.
