Those Warne rings look like they're 2 different heights.
This would mean they're arranged for a M77 rifle rather than a No 1 or Blackhawk Hunter.

Magnet?

I see no issue. Strong little magnets. When is there significant lateral force to the grips? You're holding the grips on during recoil, so the concern must be while riding in a holster or whatever other scenario you imagine- swatted against a tree by a grizzly leaving you to fight him off with your bare hands?
Ronnie's blanks fit TIGHT. Grip screw is just insurance. I think I brought this (magnets for one piece looking grips) up with him some time ago, but the grip screw hole is a locator for the CNC cutting so it was a no-go.

10 twist? 12?
Be nice to keep the weight down with a slim barrel profile. Personal preference. No clue what an optimal length is for the round.
Iron sights with QR scope mount would be welcome also (coolest would be to splurge on claw or swing mount, but $$$).
25-20 or any of a couple dozen similar little rounds would be fun. Go for it.

Does anybody know how the Linebaugh Long does in a carbine?

Yeah, it's a ProBoards thing. To sell guns here would jeopardize the site.
Other stuff you can sell here as stated above, but you can sell a gun elsewhere and link it here for additional exposure- but the sale would go through the linked site.
The exclusion of a classifieds area isn't a statement I don't think, just a byproduct.

Can someone tell me what velocity i should use when using these weight bullets? Thanks. I have never loaded the 200 xtp in 44 magnum but I have used it quite a bit in an FA 97 44 special. I load them to 1200 fps and they work well on deer. I've taken several deer with this combo. The bullet doesn't always exit - but the deer go down quickly. I’ll echo this. Same load. Same gun. Same results.

Ah, that's right. I thought the 204 was a 45mm case but it's not, it's 47mm.

Does anybody know if Bowen will install an ovate or other custom barrel on another maker's custom? I have a Clements line bored 41 mag that wears the factory barrel still, and an ovate would be real classy.

I've posted this gun before, but never really focused on the scope mount. This is a titanium mount, I think a custom job but I haven't seen pics of the FA version. There were a handful of custom mounts floating around an enthusiast/machinist supposedly built. My question is about these rear sight inserts. They need to be trimmed on the bottom. All are a U/V notch. I might flip one over and do a square notch. I also need to Fermin make me a front sight (it's a pin in sight) once I sort out the rear sight height. Does anyone else have this mount, and if so what's the rear sight solution? It's light, very well made, and allows for irons. Makes the long barreled 357 carry and handle light a much smaller gun. I think with sights, a Barranti shoulder rig, and 158 grain loads this could become a regular hunting gun. I suppose if I can't get these to work I might be able to annoy Fermin enough to make both a front and rear for me.

I came to suggest the 25-204 is a simpler option than a 25-222 (Kimber). Then I looked and the Raptor is a 25-204. It's impossible to keep the Reeder wildcats straight. As a 6x47 AI shooter (6mm-222) I'd say the 204 case is the easy button and equivalent in most respects.
A Howa mini in any of these rounds would be a neat little rig.

Agree with Encore64, only I use a fine file with a safety edge and just work it down slowly.

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