Nothing about it really screams Bowen to me, except perhaps the frame scallops.

My uninformed opinion is that someone is dreaming! The front Sight shotgun bead with plyer marks doesn’t look very Bowen.

Tim and I had this conversation earlier. I think the scallops are all that I see that might be BCA.

I heard from the seller and he has no provenance to back it up.

You have to give the seller credit though, he really knows how to get a bunch of numb skulls attention!

I tried to like it - 45, short barrel, scallops.
But, in the end, it is just plain ugly to my eyes. Can't recall seeing any Bowen guns with bead front sight.

Maybe it was once a Bowen gun and the muzzle got blown off or chopped off or, ah hell,....forget it!!

At least whoever did it removed the ejector rod housing hole on the frame. Has anyone contacted BCA and asked them about it?
Is it stainless? Or just painted?
I think if it is painted, one could put a dovetail front sight and polish it out and blue/ CCH it and it would look better... ish...

Just don't you dare mention I put you up to it..... Remember the thread a while back about when to call or not call your gunsmith......... |
