I have a question about your damascus barreled project. Thanks.

Ahh, I remember that now. Very nice. (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Thu, 14 Apr 2016 05:22:19 +0000

Do you have photos of them? I would love to see what you've gathered. That's an impressive list and has taken a lot of time and resources. Kudos to you.

Nice list... (reply)

Bryan, a couple of years before I sold you that batch of parts I decided I wanted to order a custom revolver from each of the top gunsmiths whose work I liked. I tried to let each person build something that they felt represents their style, tastes and skills or specialties. It is often interesting to hear their response when you as them what they would build if they could have free rein within the base gun I am supplying and my preferred caliber. Dustin's is the last one I am waiting on to get finished then that goal or quest will be complete. Granted I have strayed off path with a few custom USFA, S&W and TLA projects along the way but they were ancillary to the original goal.

Thank you Bryan. Will do. (reply)

We would also extend the same invitation to you. Should your travels bring you to St. Paul/Minneapolis, please be sure to let us know. We'll be here for a while. After that, you'd be welcome to wherever we land!

Clements isn't doing them anymore... (reply)

Max conversions are just because you want to. I wouldn't use a Seville although some have.

I do like the idea of running at lower pressures in hot weather...and you can always play with a hotter load if you're feeling spicy. I enjoyed shooting them at CSA.

my problem too- not enough time (reply)

You can either spend time walking around and talking to friends,
or you can look for the new guns that you haven't seen before,
or you can walk around taking pictures,
or you can shoot.

There isn't time to do all of it.

Clements has done the conversions on Sevilles (reply)

bj — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 21:33:19 +0000

I don't know if he would still do them or not. Donor guns for Max conversions are pricy and hard to find, and there is a philosophical question of whether you should sacrifice a highly collectible gun for the conversion. I can't find why you would need more than the standard Linebaughs except for just because.

If you ever get to Dallas/Ft Worth, please let me know. (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 17:30:31 +0000

You are welcome at our place.

Very true... (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 17:28:05 +0000

the 480 is great. The only real reason to go bigger is because you want to. I have both but I've always liked the 50's.

Clements does great work. I have some things headed his way. If I did a Max conversion then I would send it to Huntington. Only he and Linebaugh are still doing them...well, Reeder is but I prefer the work of the others. I haven't checked with Forkin or Harton but Clements and Bowen are out of the Max conversion biz.

Who are you thinking about for the 500? NT (reply)

DiamondD — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 16:42:35 +0000

Dave Clements. I'm really thinking the .480 Ruger Bisley would do everything I wanted the .500 for except be a half inch caliber.

Good points. Agreed and I look forward to the next. NT (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 14:00:06 +0000

That's a real problem at these gatherings. (reply)

We head home every year saying, "I should have spent more time with [fill in the blank]." Just keep showing up and you'll eventually get to talk to everyone. That's my theory anyway.

It's also quite correct to make requests when approaching the next CSA. I have found that folks are more than happy to bring along things for others to examine and shoot.

And, yes, we need to come to Texas. I have read and heard so much that I need to see it first hand. The only time I ever spent there was about 3 hours in the Dallas airport...not a fair representation at all.

I should have come down on your end and spent more time... (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 03:19:24 +0000

would love to get to know you better next time. If you ever get to Ft Worth let me know.

Shoot, you could have shot mine in the holler. (reply)

Hoot — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 01:50:22 +0000

We figured out it wasn't sighted in but, hell, you could have shot it. Next time for sure.

About the only thing I would do with the Husky's.... (reply)

Hoot — Sat, 09 Apr 2016 10:56:00 +0000

would be to get them shooting to their potential. That and buy more!

If you were going to do a custom project this year... (reply)

Flatlander — Sat, 09 Apr 2016 02:23:27 +0000

Somewhere here is a 4-5/8" 44 barrel and an OMBH 357 bored out to 429. That would be a simple enough project ...

What's the particulars on the 480 project? NT (reply)

Fast twist rifles in those calibers do sound interesting, have always wanted a fast twist 250 Savage on a short bolt or single shot action.

It would be easier to just buy a CZ in 416 Rigby (reply)
