Bowen Nimrod in 500L- updated with new grip pics

Here is my new Bowen Nimrod in 500L. Headed to the gripmaker at months end for some new shoes.

BADUBET: OOOPS, NO PICTURES, JUST THAT "IMG" BS. IS IT THE SAME GUN YOU HAD ON THE BRAGGING BOARD?

Yea. Never can figure out the picture thing.

BADUBET: PREVIEW YOUR POST AFTER YOU TYPE IN AN "IMG", IF NO PICTURE SHOWS UP THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE "IMG" INFO.

Here ya go.....


Great looking revolver!

BADUBET: DID YOU COMMISSION BOWEN TO BUILD IT? OR DID YOU BUY IT USED? OR WHAT? IF YOU HAD IT BUILT, HOW LONG DID IT TAKE AND WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE 500 LINEBAUGH?

Beautiful wheel gun. I hope to own a 500 Linebaugh one day.

Thanks KRal for posting the pic correctly.

That sure is a beautiful revolver.

Thanks KRal for posting the picture.
45Man, I commissioned the build. Took about 3 months I guess from the time I got him a good donor gun. The first one I sent him had a few issues and he advised I start with a better example. So I lost a month getting it back and buying another and sending it to him.
I chose the 500L because I think the cost (fatigue) on the shooter is better long term for wear and tear. I have a heavy 45, 454 Casull, 475L, and a few 500L. I just didn?t have a SS 500L. John Linebaugh is building me a brass grip frame 500L currently and I?m deciding if I?m going to build a 500 Maximum. After that I?m done. I promise.

Bad, I think you nEED that MAXIMUM!

My Wife would disagree. Ha

Beautiful!!!!!!

Takes a while to figure out the image tags.

I just got the Nimrod back from Rob at Rowen Custom Grips. They are made from Turkish walnut.

My need has been filled. Details to follow next week!

This sounds like a project is in order for that 500 Maximum. Yeehaw.
Rob does some fine work and one of the things I appreciate about him is the screws and escutcheons. Stainless on stainless.
hahaa I am a stickler in this area. I hate a brass escutcheon with any gun for that matter. But that is me.
Beautiful gun here. Turkish walnut also, on my 44 mag. I like the polished cylinder contrast.
Good luck on this next project.

vary nice handles

Beautiful grips. The rest of the gun ain't bad either.

very nice
