Hello everyone,

Anyone got a pic of a .4475/500 Linebaugh with a 4 5/8 or 4/3/4 inch barrel?

Any help is appreciated from the new guy,

The only two i still own are the two 4 inch vaqueros. My buddy conned me out of the 4 5/8s gun and i also had a 5.5 inch 500 that went down the road. Ive got a 5.5 inch 475 john built and a fA 4 5/8s 475 too but dont have any pictures right now. My buddy Al has those three 500s i showed and also has the 4 inch gun in the buffalo pic and one other 5.5 inch 500 and then has a 500max 5.5 inch. He also has a 4 5/8s FA 475 and a john built 4 3/4 vaquero in 475. By the way I actually won that 4 5/8s 500 at one of the linebaugh seminars. I dont know if he still does it but back when the seminars were big he used to give away a gun ever year. My buddy Al wanted it bad because he won Johns "One to ride the river with" award that year and the gun was marked with that seminar year.

Thanks for the pics Lloyd. Is your .475 5.5" the standard style with the barrel band?

no i didnt want a barrel band. Im more used to short barreled guns and even a 5.5 is a bit longer then i really like the bands look cool but the barrel band makes them feel a bit front heavy. I opted for a 5.5 in barrel on that one figuring with my eyes getting older the longer sight radius might make it easier to focus on a front sight years down the road. One thing ill say about that 475 is that its the most accurate handgun ive ever owned. I dont think ive ever found a bad load in it.

John Linebaugh, 500 Linebaugh, 4 3/4" barrel, White micarta by Dustin Linebaugh. Bought it on GB about 2 weeks ago. Hendershot's pictures are better than mine. SO far only a box of trainer loads from Grizzily. Waiting for my brass from starline.
