Nice. That would probably be a tight chambered 5 shot 50,000psi 45 Colt??

Great price considering the stocks alone are probably 500-600 these days and Roy doesn't take "new" customers. From the bolt notches, it does appear to be a five shot version. Great deal, wish I wasn't broke these days

Well I tried registering to buy the thing but it doesn't take either of my email servers so I guess it was not meant to be.

Thanks Fermin, I wouldn't mind tossing that one in the safe since I gave my other Bowen gun with Fishpaw Dall grips to my son.

Crap, was out of town for training. I have wanted a nimrod since I was 14, I'm 37 now... I even bought a bisley as a donor when I was 18 and still have it. I just haven't had the money to send it in to Mr. Bowen. Now I have been just hoping to find one already for sale but never see one in .45 for sale, guys just hold onto them. I shouldn't spend the money but if I found one already made for a price like this with those gorgeous grips, I would break open the savings account. I see .475's for sale from time to time but really want a .45, at least for the first one. Somebody will part with one someday...

Thanks guys, I am excited to get this one headed to the NW. Here is a picture of the Bowen old model 41 with Fishpaw Dall grips I gave to Remington after he returned from hislast deployment. It was my first custom I had built and I let him choose between several guns and this is the one he liked best.

Nice score Robb. And great timing--figures it would appear on a day I skip out of the office to float the river for rainbows.
Not sure what others you gave him to choose from--but bet he chose wisely--that little gun is a beaut. Jealous of all those Fishpaw grips--won't likely ever have a set for a gun of my own since he's not taking new client orders, but sure enjoy the pictures.

kings6, are you planning on adopting anytime soon? I'm available. All I need is car keys, beer money and a custom SA revolver to give you my undying loyalty as a son!

Nice score! Roy seems to go back and forth between accepting new customers and not. I've gotten a couple sets of grips from him since the first time he stopped accepting new customers. It's worth a call, but be warned, he works good not fast.
