I've got the hammer but didn't want to mess with Bowen's Action job. The grips just keep moving from gun to gun. Right now they are on a Single Six Bowen 327 Mag conversion.
They are fun but ol' Bushy is right; they ain't cheap. Just as much as any other five shot conversion. But when you're trying to fill your dance card with one each of the biggest 5 shot conversions possible, they are all going to cost a bit.
Robb, I'll make you a great package deal on a 50 GI and a 45 TLA....

You can do a rimmed .50 on the mid-frame. When the Bowen .50GI was announced, I knew the .50Spl's rim was too large but emailed David Clements about doing something with a .500S&W cut to .44Spl length (shorter than what is marketed as ".500Spl") and he said it would indeed fit. He ended up building at least one gun but not for me. My 50th .357 went down the road and I never pursued it.
I am assuming folks know the .50 Special is Bowen creation consisting of a .500Linebaugh cut to .44Spl length and has a much larger rim than the .500S&W.

ol'Bushy....I kinda like that! americanhandgunner.com/the-500-sw-special/So what's the difference between the above cartridge and a .500 JRH? I think I wee-wee'd off some folks when I asked this question in a different way in the past?

While we're talking 50 dimensions, any utility for a 500WE cut down to fit a mid-frame? Any issues with it being a proprietary FA cartridge?

Since it would be a low pressure slowpoke, let's call it the .500 Dribbler.

.500 Dribbler sounds nice. Won't make my short list of "gotta haves".

Will a shot of penicillin make it a .500 long, or just make it go away?

You just hang on to that TLA 45 a little longer! I need to get one or two more projects wrapped up then if you still have it I will be putting a list of blued guns / cash and guns together for your perusal.
