Apparently he collapsed and died in the shop on Sunday. I was lucky enough to own a couple of his 500s and a big 45. If he had charged me a nickel for every time I call him to ask questions he could have retired. We are diminished.

Here is an example of a finished. Potato Judge Junior on a Mid-Frame Ruger 45 Colt. Walnut for the grips was a gift from Lee Jurras.
Ahhhh, I can’t get Photobucket to cooperate.
Can I email the photos to someone to post?

My friend says it should go up on Gunbroker this week. For some reason I can't post pictures here from my work computer.

Trying to advise a friend. NOT SELLING HERE.
He has decided to part ways with his 2009 Dustin Linebaugh 475 Bisley Vaquero. Stainless, Black Micarta Grips, Round 4 3/4" barrel. Excellent condition shot very little. Hornady Dies, 50+ pieces of brass and 60 Montana Bullet Works Hardcast 400 grain WFN bullets.
I know what he paid, I had a similar DL 475 with a 5 1/2" barrel and octagon barrel I sold mine and know what I got for it. Dustin's prices ahve gone up and the wait time has not decreased so I am trying to help him price this thing. Any thoughts?

Some 'smiths (John L comes to mind) have a long waiting list. In Dustin's case(I waited 4 years for my 475 Bisquero) he is a part-time gunsmith full time Hay Farmer/Broker. SO he has both a back-log and limited time. He does much of his gun-building after hay is put up and maintenance is done on equipment. My observation. Your mileage may vary.

Retired from the Navy in 2014 after 32 years. Fleet Marine Force Corpsman then Submarine Duty and finally Command Master Chief. Currently I am a Program Manger at a Naval Shipyard
I love to hunt with a Longbow or handgun, like to fly fish, kayak and Cross Country ski. I used to do a bit of mountaineering but I've outgrown that.

My entry is not unique material but unique in the sourcing. I have a chunk of walnut that was given to me by Lee Jurras right after I retired from the Navy. He, Rob Leahy and I swapped a 5" 629 and some other stuff around at about that time, 2013-ish. The 629 ended up back with Rob and I still have Lee's Glock 20. Right after that Lee sent me the walnut. I'm working up a 3/4" sized version of the gun John Linebaugh built for Lee(a twin to John's personal 500.) The walnut is currently with Ronnie Wells being stabilized and rough fitted to a Potato Judge Junior grip frame, then off to Tyler Gun Works. It will be mounted on a Flat top 45 Colt, 4 5/8" barrel, the grips finished, TGW accuracy package, 2Dogs front sight and Bobby's Master Blue Finish.

The 4K price. Gulf Breeze had it for 2500 or thereabouts.

Gulf breeze had it at a significantly lower price. I flirted with the idea of buying it and getting the barrel cut back to something manageable, like 36 inches.

What's the story on the 500 JRH prairie dog grenade? Is it a Production model or a Precision Shop version or a JRH modified one? Grips, barrel length etc.?

I spent 13 of my 32 years as a Hospital Corpsman with the FMF. Mostly 1st and 3rd Marine Divisions. An honor and a privilege. The Blue Diamond and Caltrop Nation - the two best divisions in the Corps. I did four years out in 29 Palms with 7th Marines and then four years in Kaneohe Bay with 3rd Marines. I’m a straightleg infantryman, but have nothing but respect for corpsmen: When I was at the Stumps, circa 1984-86 it was still the 4th Marine Regiment.

Hope the shooter was wearing his brown pants. If he wasn't, he is NOW!
