I know it's a weird question but I aquired a 5 shot 475 Linebaugh cylinder. I'm just trying to figure how a custom 5 shot cylinder got separated from its frame. If the gun blew up the cylinder should have gotten damaged. The cylinder has a single small number stamped in the case head end. Other than that it has a nice finish except for the dragline I have no other info on the part.

If it's for a Super Redhawk I'm sure it was intended for me!!!!! I would be more than happy to arrange the shipping :-)

Is there anyway to find out who made it or what model it was intended for?

You might send a pic of it to Whitworth. He's probably one of the best around here at identifying stuff like that. He's had them all.... As a matter of fact some say he "Wrote the book on big bore hunting revolvers" :-) http://www.amazon.com/Big-Bore-Revolvers-Max-Prasac/dp/1440228566

Funny you mention that. I received his Big Bore Revolver Book yesterday in the mail that I bought from Amazon. So far it seems very well written and great pictures too. I believe there is a picture in there of one of my old 475l FA revolvers that I sold to Gary. Small world. I'll try to link the picture but it has never worked for me.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I can't see from the picture, but are the holes counter-bored? I need a couple of measurements -- length and diameter of the cylinder. Let's see if we can unlock this mystery! Thank you!

Definitely not from a SRH, Vance.
Rod, too.

Nope. Single action :-( Ah well. I can load the 480 up to pretty uncomfortable levels! Truth is 400-410s at 1200fps suite me just fine :-)

Right now it's the LNFP from the Lee mold. I believe they are 400gr. I do feel confident with it at any prudent range for moose or brown bear.

comparing it to the cylinder on the new to me 475L from John; it may be one of his. It has the same plum colored bluing and has a number stamped on the cylinder that matches the stamped number on the frame. It has the #7 stamped on the cylinder. I wonder if anyone on here ever owned the #7- 475L by John Linebaugh.

My question is how in blazes did a JL crafted cylinder find its way apart from the gun it was built for? It's not like a 5 shot 475L cylinder is a "stock part" anywhere, and is certainly not something someone would just forget about when selling a gun....like so many Single Six 22 mag cylinders.
I wonder if it was a police confiscation or something like that, where the frame was destroyed and the parts scavenged. That would be a serious shame if that were the case.

Yes. I don't know. It's weird. I May call john sometime and see if his records indicate who he made the gun for.
