No, they never made a .475. They did make a long frame in .45/70 (the original BFR), and short framed revolvers that in essence are Rugers in that you can use many of the Ruger parts on them to include grip frames. I picked one up recently in .454 Casull. In addition DMax built a mid frame revolver. Roughly equivalent to the Ruger 357 Maximum. Cylinders are 2.250 inches long and 1.780+ OD on my 458 Dmax. Serial numbers had a M prefix. As far as I know this frame size was dropped by Magnum Research.

You're so right. I believe that those mid-frame D-Max frames are the ones that Gary Reeder has been using for his Maximum builds. I didn't mention them because I don't believe they were ever used.
