Can you get a closer one of the bearing block "pin"? I'm not used to seeing one that looks like these two that you have. The 445 appeared to have the same setup. I thought that Bowen usually used a screw on the frame that bears against the block. How do these differ? Thanks.

Wait a minute, I may have missed an important thing there. I was assuming that the 1990 date was for the stocks, was that the gun also. Thanks.

So if I remember this Linebaugh went for $1900 plus the auction fee right? Seemed to be a pretty fair deal, my uncle was on the phone incase no one was paying attention and he could steel the gun. Seemed a few guns went pretty cheap that day, normally they seem to bring at least fair market or much more at that auction. He grabbed a pre-18 22cal Combat Masterpiece for a pretty fair price, especially looking at what people think theirs is worth on Gunbroker since then...

Very nice. I really like the looks of Bowen's Nimrods. They look very 'user friendly'.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
