Your wait will probably not be long! Mine was not......sent gun to BCA on 8/31/14 for conversion to a Nimrod 45 Colt. On 9/22/14 I received a invoice from BCA, gun completed and was being shipped to Robb Rowen for Dall Horn grips. Wow, I can't wait! Mine is a SS Nimrod. It will have to go back to BCA for finial finishing after Robb completes grips, could take a while. Robb is a little backed up presently.
9/23/2014 Hi Terry -
Your revolver arrived this morning. Have not unpacked it but will shortly. I spoke to Hamilton last Friday and he mentioned the Nimrod being about ready to head my way. I just smiled as I remembered they told you about 2 months! I will send a work order on the one received later today, and the Nimrod after it arrives which may be a week or so according to Hamilton.
Thanks
Rob

Congrats on your first custom! Sounds like a great combo. I know how you feel. I'm waiting for my first and it's getting close!

A tease bought some years ago at a price that still makes me giddy. You will be pleased with what he delivers. Said delivery will also make you looking for more to sell...

I've been looking at that gun for years and it played a big role in my choice. You're right about looking to sell more, I've already been looking through the safe as I plan the next custom project: a set of Flattop 45 Colts, also by Bowen.

Just received Mr. Bowen's invoice, grip frame will be out for grips soon and the front sight is having its gold bars installed. This was fast! Bowen received my Bisley on 9/3/14.

It is a process of truing the grip frame to allow a better fit to the frame, and for custom grips. Bowen describes it in his book.
