Glenn...I remember talking to you right after you purchased it. Turned out great and I think it's neat both Linebaughs had a hand in it. -Lee www.singleactions.com |

Ivory micarta. It took awhile (about 8 months) but I told him I was in no hurry and to take his time. GS It was well worth the wait! ;)Thanks Zues I will take this as great advice and not get in a hurry. I have been waiting 10 months. And I can agree on John L work, they shoot wonderfully. Thanks again for sharing! Boomer Count me in on that wait game also, I personally dropped my revolver off at Dustin’s shop early last December just for a set of grips – with haying, zeus and boomer, looks like it might be another couple of months or so. |

I have 2x the pain I have 2 there hoping I could just get one sooner than latter  |

Be patient guys. Bear in mind I had been waiting for a while before even sending one off for stocks. I waited to send it in until I was closer in line for the work. Dustin's work is well worth the wait. You'll be thrilled when they come home  |

Nice looking gun there Glenn.
Don't forget to go back and thank that server for spilling the sauce on you ;D Weird how bad happenings lead to good stuff.
The grips look real nice.

The revolver was a 375 Seville until Clements converted it to a 500 Linebaugh Maximum back in the early 90's.

I can't imagine that would be very fun to fire with full house loads and that style gripframe |

I will find out as soon as the weather breaks. I had rubber bumpers on it prior and once I passed the mid-1,300fps barrier, nothing seemed comfortable and upon hitting 1,546fps with a 440 grain hardcast bullet I threw in the towel, as it snapped my wrist and bloodied my trigger finger pretty good. I think my wrist throbbed for 5 minutes and I only fired a 3-shot group. I have no desire to ever re-visit that experience. That Seville is just too damn lightweight for heavy loads and a Bisley grip frame might help a little but I think it would still buck hard enough that one would be looking for the towel.
Dustin did a good job filling it out, as the grip feels good in the hand and should spread the pain out a little more if I decide to get stupid again, but if it’s still a little much, I’ll put the bumpers back on for shooting and just go with the wood for show. A full-on custom revolver with bumpers just doesn’t seem right when you want to show it off.
