I sent one of my Freedom Arms 454's to Jack Huntington this week. He is going to convert it to 475 Linebaugh for me with a 5.5" banded barrel. The gun needed to be re-barreled so it seemed like the right thing to do. Now the wait.....

Excellent, Dan! You won't have to wait very long, I'll bet!

Jack said about 6 weeks after he takes a week vacation. That is NOT long at all. What a great guy to talk to as well. I should have it by this fall's hunting season.

I have shot and hunted with a 475 but have not owned one. I am just a little anxious to get one of my own to say the least.

Why in need of a new barrel?

Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Shot the forcing cone out with Lil Gun powder. This is one of the guns that made FA start to warn against the use of that stuff.
