Hello
I need your guys expertise. What kind of value would a original 500 Linebaugh have that was built on the bisley frame and is numbered under 100?
It has the 7.5 inch barrel and was made before John had his stencil made so it still reads 44mag on the side as well as the normal ruger stamping on the frame. Thanks for your help!
Regards
Mark

I believe I know which gun you are referring to. It's pretty subjective, but I will say that if you look at John's new pricing on his website, his guns now start at $3800.

Something like that might have more collector value to someone who likes John's work. Best thing to do is assume full replacement cost at today's market rate if it's for insurance. If you are thinking of selling that's a whole different story.

IMHO, substantially less than a new one.

Yes. In a minute. $2100 is not a price you see associated with a Linebaugh built gun these days.

The gun is not mine. If anyone is interested I'll let you know where it is for sale.

If it's the one in Fairbanks... Just know that the base pin is stripped, grips warped from moisture and someone took a engraver tool and buried it into the front of the trigger guard.

I have no investment in this other than it seems like a good buy and I thought somebody on this site wood appreciate the gun. I talked to John and he said if someone bought it he would provide the info he has.

I am wondering how you know the base pin is stripped. As for the engraving tool buried in front of the trigger guard. That is stippling made for gripping with the fore finger to grip. The grips did not looked warped to me. No different than any other Ruger.
