Hmmm - that gun looks familiar. Didn't Max on the old board have one similar to that that he was trying to sell years ago? Wonder if it is the same gun. Great snag! Can't wait to see it when you are done! While I sign my posts "Max", it definitely wasn't me. Glad others were able to infer to whom it was you were referencing.

Congrats on a very cool pick. Hopefully with all the work Lee and Max have been putting in we will start seeing more and more 500Maxs being built. Santilli, I don't remember no stinking Santilli! ;D

Santilli, I don't remember no stinking Santilli! ;D If I could find a Ruger 357 max frame as a donor gun I'd sell half the guns in my safe and start a build project on one tomorrow! I've got serious maximum envy seeing all your fine stretch frame max revolvers and reading the threads. I'm ready for the ultimate big stick. I can handle anything that can be shot in a standard length cylinder pretty well, but now I want to go long...

His best-known handle was "500JRHMax" and he used it on a lot of boards. Later, he used his name on other boards. Anyway, it was easy in those days to just call him "Max" and not have to type the rest of his moniker. Sorry for the confusion.

He was a TURDSUCKER and is NOT missed.
There. Somebody had to say it.

I support your quest! I will keep an eye open for a donor Max revolver! Much appreciated Whit... that kind of makes you a max "pusher" of sorts, like a "pimp" of the stretch frame... nice!

FWIW When Gary Reeder got his current set of new stretch frames he was dead set against building any new 500 Maximums at the beginning. When the 500 Max fans got to speaking up and offering to spend their bucks he changed his tune... Made a bunch of us happy too! ;D

Me? Shoot? Surely not! To busy working, buying guns, gardening, and the honey do list today. Mulched my tomatoes and peppers today. Prepped the ground to transplant some cherry tomato plants. Charged the AC on my truck, bathed and trimmed the dogs.. Packed up about a dozen guns to send to Reeder.. Pulled out a few to ship to buyers that I sold to pay for all these new Reeder customs. And got in a good nap... Tomorrow there will be church, lunch with the family, church again, and I have some work I've got to get done before monday morning. Seems like I did shoot Both of my 500 Maximums a couple of weeks ago. Might shoot them again next weekend.
