Hoping to free a little toy money for another gun or two I certainly hope to find in the near future. Not really sure I want to sell both, but will happily part with one of the two--if two folks jump in and take them so be it, but after one sells, may withdraw the other. Will have these here through the weekend, and move one or both to auction if not sold. Just wanted to give you fine folks first looksie.
1). Minty 500 Linebaugh Long, aka Maximum. It appears to be one John made in Missouri by the dots on either side of his serial number. Has counter sunk case heads in cylinder and perfectly fit grips. Could pull them off if someone wanted me to look, but if I recall that have Dustin Linebaugh written on them in pen. Gun is truly in sweet, welled cared for condition. I did note that when firing Hornady proper heads tamped brass, you need to use large rifle primers as pistol primers seat too deep and some rounds end with a short strike. No issue with rifle primers as the load I used called for anyway. I discovered by mistake when I accidentally loaded with pistol primers. I have a fair amount of 50 Alaskan brass trimmed to size by John Linebaugh and Ben Forkin that I would offer to the buyer. I also have about 90 pieces of proper head stamped brass that I would offer the buyer if the gentleman I purchased from didn't want it back. The brass isn't included in the sale, but would offer at my cost. The head stamped brass is akin to hen's teeth, so wanted to offer it back to the kind gent who passed them to me first if the gun sells.
I am asking $3,500 shipped. This is the conversion price from John (check his website), so you save the years wait and get an essentially free maximum base gun. I will include the hand written note from him that he sent with the trimmer brass with load info.
I will admit I really like a blued gun with stainless grip frame, not a two-tone guy generally--but this thing is pretty.
2). Fairly basic, but minty 500 Linebaugh.
This is simply a basic conversion by John. It's an earlier conversion that went essentially unused and remains with excellent bluing and of course vault tight. I have a set of beautiful English walnut grips that Scott Kolar made for the gun that are gorgeous, hoped to put them on another Linebaugh that's headed north, but if buyer wants them, would include them at my cost. Price is for the gun with factory grips contoured and serial stamped at the time of the conversion.
Asking $2650 shipped.
First I'll take it rules over PM. Both guns for sale until I pull/withdraw one. Please feel free to email or call with questions. Nine zero 7 394. 3611
Thanks,
Will
