Boge Quinn
I can assume you have been asked this question many times.
How is the round butt, combined with the short barrel, in handling the recoil of the .500L ? I have one of the pictures of your beautiful conversion, framed on my desk. These are early pictures no doubt. I see no indications of being cocked. Would you do a round butt again ?
Thanks,
Walter

I have seen pictures of Mr. Quinns gun before. It is the most clever, practical, things that I have seen on here. Does its get carried a lot.
Must get drool out of keyboard.

Thanks, Walter Framed on your desk? COOL! Those pics were taken the day I received the gun, before I had fired a shot. I was losing daylight and it was drizzling rain, so I took the pics before it got darker and wetter. That gun still looks almost as good as it did then! I LOVE the feel of the rounded butt, and it does a great job at taming the recoil. Speaking of...I am going to load-up some lighter stuff in it, but so far it's only fired Al Anderson's favorite handload and Buffler Bore factory ammo. With the really heavy stuff, I get some hammer bite, but the recoil is not uncomfortable. edk, that makes me think ZZ!!! |

edk, that makes me think ZZ!!!Well that's OK, I'd wager Frank Beard would be drooling over your 500 like the rest of us. That takes it full circle! Just had to edit to add this pic from Reeder's site:  |

Couldn't stand it any longer.....I bought it. Now I wait for my FFL holder to call me to pick it up. Pictures to follow.
