so I've been pairing up some rifles or carbines with some of my hunting revolvers... I have a 480 Ruger Super Blackhawk... Ideally I'd love one of the Ruger Built Marlin lever actions in 480 Ruger... yup... still waiting...
in the mean time I think I'd like to find a carbine length Encore barrel in 480, stainless, & about 20"... I've been to MGM, & Bullberrys sites, & don't see 475 caliber available from either ( may be time to call??? )
anyone have one, or have any other ideas where to get???

I'd call Troy at Bullberry. He might just not keep that caliber of barrel stock around but could get it for an order.

I've got an e-mail into him right now, since he was able to make me up a custom 500 JRH barrel, with me sending him some cases to insure everything fit, figured he may not have everything up to date, on the website, with whats available, or may know a place to get a blank from... I actually have a carbine length barrel blank, but its carbon steel... & I would prefer a finished barrel in stainless
he does have .475 - 500 in stainless on his pricing guide so???

Pac nor at least has .475 bore blanks ( may be where I got the carbon steel one I have ) still exploring to see if stainless is available... yes, contoured stainless blanks are available, albeit pretty expensive

I've got a Ruger #1 in 475 Linebaugh/480 Ruger. That might be a good option if you can find one...

I would love an afordable #1... closest I've gotten there, is a custom caliber #3... I suppose a possibility since I'm not a huge 22-250 fan ( the caliber my #3 came to me in ), would be to find someone to send that out to, to switch out to 480 ( I do have a carbon steel .475 barrel blank ) but I just would really have stainless for a rough & tumble hunting carbine, to go along with my stainless Super Blackhawk

There are 2 lever gun options with a Rossi R92, in .480 only. Big Horn Armory makes their 475L version in a few different configurations. Neither one is as inexpensive as just adding a barrel to a TC. |

I don't want to sidetrack or hijack MWM's Thread, but I've had the same thoughts recently about an Encore Carbine in 454 Casull.
For the Handloader, it would work from plinking with cast bullets to hammering the biggest critters.

It’s nice to have a variety of options, and just keep looking for the hard to acquire pieces, while you shoot.
