Hang around and buy and sell enough guns you'll run across some great ones. I ran across a fella' who was good enough to let this one come to NM! I will say thanks to Kings6 for the grips. I think they finally found their forever home.

I'll let you guys figure out the details to start!

OK here goes...

Bowen built .41 magnum. Started with a M27-2 with a 5" barrel rebored for .41. M57 cylinder with recessed cylinders so it can accommodate the long .41 magnum cartridges. Rough Country rear and white outline front sights. Keith Brown grips. Bowen's mark on the cylinder face.

It's a really nice revolver...the mountain gun that never was.

Love the M27 topstrap!

And a conversion to 41 to boot! Reminds me of my 28 conversion to 41 Special.

Fire bluing the sight screws is totally unnecessary. Love it.

Front sight looks Bowen- rounded. Clements Baughman sight has a tighter radius on the muzzle end.

The top strap checkering is great.

Every once in a while my eyes catch a glimpse of the fire blue screws but for the most part I can’t stop looking at the grips.
