You should move this to the links section. Some possibly interested people would see it.

The CCH looks like waves! I wonder if the CCH process can be manipulated for this effect or if it's strictly random? Sorta like the hamon-line on a katana using clay during heat treatment?

This is in the wrong place...... The coloring is done using CN not a reducing atmosphere, thus it can be laid down in more of a pattern... |

Didn't think that process was still used. |

I don’t understand why if you go to the work of installing a #5 base pin latch you don't weld up the factory cross pin latch holes?

Bone CCH obscures welds. I have no idea how welds react to the CN coloring process, so maybe that's why? Did Huntington do the latch, does anyone know? |

Maybe it still serves a function?
What I don't understand is why convert an existing .500JRH to a .500Linebaugh??? IMHO, it's a step backwards.

Well, if you look at the bid history, it's pretty obvious where it's going.

It’s not a .500 JRH that was converted to .500 Linebaugh. Much like Hamilton Bowen, Jack didn’t call it a .500 Linebaugh in the early days, but a .500 Mag. |

Thought I would chime in as I don’t often.
This Huntington 500 came out of a recent collection. It also came with two folders full of research and development and documentation and correspondence. I do believe it was ordered with the latch installed by Huntington. There are a few things about this build that I would’ve definitely done differently and one of them was filling that hole. At this point and it’s life I just excepted it for what it was and went on. If we were to have welded the whole it would have hidden completely with our Color Case process. I did take this out and shoot it and it shot like the house on fire. If only some of these projects could talk!
Thanks again Bobby

Thanks again Bobby Were I in the market, knowing about the documentation would increase my interest and the value of this gun for me. Might be worth posting to the auction. Early builds by the top tier revolver smiths are always interesting to see. Old Linebaugh and Bowen guns have their own quirks. |

From the listing: "It has been rechambered and rebarreled from a JRH 500mag to a .500 Linebaugh." |
