Anybody here have Bowens ovate barrels? On his website he lists 4 5/8, 5 1/2, and 7 1/2 barrels. Looks like a 5 1/2 in his pic. Really neat. I want a Bowen custom and figuring out what I want. Appreciate any pics and info.

Always desired one! Even contemplated machining/filing one out myself! There’s just that distinctive classic look to them

I just got off the phone with Mr Bowen. Pretty amazing to get to speak with him. He likes the 5 1/2 length. Definitely have to have his rear sight, base pin,and lanyard ring added. I would go with the regular six shot 45 colt cylinder. I have a bisley and a regular new model that I could send. Tough choice.

Just stop it! Do you have any idea how much it hurts to see that gun? Hurts in a good way. Gotta be one of the most beautiful customs out there.
