That’s not a Bisley but a Bowen #5 in 44mag complete with the Sedgley base pin retainer and what might be ivory grips (never seen plastic grips for a #5 grip frame). That is a rare and very high end gun. |

I didn't think that one would fly under the radar.
Calculated last night the current build cost. Ended up roughly with "a lot" assuming ivory.
Is the base pin latch curved?
I would be happy with that 41 Redhawk too.

That is a rare and very high end gun. Yes, Sorry about that. My mistake. Was typing and trying to listen to my wife complaining about her mother and sister at the same time. Lol Justin |

Persinger micarta for the grips. Believe the package was about $4000 when the work was offered. Pretty pricey considering stock barrel and cylinder. Unfortuantly, looks like a little rust on the left side of the frame. overall a nice looking package for sure.

You know this gun? With the factory cylinder and barrel i really dont understand what the original buyer was thinking. Turns a full custom opportunity 9and not an inexpensive one) into a gun with a base pin latch and a grip frame added on… |

I've seen a couple for sale over the years. One 44 special on the midframe and a full size one like this. I believe one of those may have had carved ivory. |

And...considering at the same time (or close) you could get a best grade gun for about $6500!

I taked to Hamilton a month go about building this same gun in 45, he said he wouldn't build it.
He said between other builds and book writing he couldn't do it.

If a person wanted a #5 style gun with most of the salient #5 features he better join the fray in this one. I had to talk for a long time to get Hamilton to do the guns he did for me with the #5?base pin latch. A cylinder rechamber and rebarrel gets you your 45 gun Cowpuncher!😄
