Thanks for posting that
I wish Bowen’s magazine had taken off, and that back issues were available for subscribers.

I kid you not. A buddy sent me a link on big bore English pistols yesterday……….
And it had a link to this pistol.
Remember it well when it came out.
I told him to find a barrel and I’d build one.
We were laughing about finding a large caliber barrel.
Small world. Unless that’s you John!!!!
Heeled bullets makes it possible to fit a 475 six shot in a Colt Single action…..as in this case

I was trying to build one using the Spencer cartridge... that was 56 caliber... rim on the cases were too big for the ratchet & pin... looked at a lot of different donor guns, was hoping we could squeeze 5 on a cylinder... there is / was new centerfire cases & re-pop rifles being built... I would have jumped into that game, if I could have a revolver & primitive lever rifle in the same cartridge..., I bought a few pieces of brass, loading dies, etc. so I was committed, or maybe should have been

Everything is going to be a felony to own in NM soon so I might as well start trying to find that gun...

After all this discussion and a trip to Colonial Williamsburg I was thinking about doing one.
Then……I was at Green Top gun store yesterday….
Found a .579 lube/sizer die……..It’s a Sign from God.
And remembered my old neighbor does BP barrels…….big bore…….another sign.
I’m a religious man……….I have no choice……….
