#1S 475 Linebaugh ...... Rare??

[Alan in GA]

It's odd..... Google searched this rifle and NONE are for sale anywhere! So how many,... Or I should say how FEW were made?!
Who's: -got one, or sees one for sale --- ANYWHERE?
(The two listed on 'Classic Sporting Arms' are actually gone as of a month or so ago).

They are certainly scarce; but I think there are several of the newer models which are rarer. I think the Linebaugh is so popular that they are not having the turnover; the original buyers are hanging on to them!

I would like to have one to go with my 480 SRH, but they are out of my price range.

Well I have one I captivity here in the great white north, and am aware of at least one other.

What shooting have you done with it?

I've got one here leftover from my bullet making days, I used to make a 400 grain Punch bullet that would hang way out of the case, and could achieve 2000 fps. More information is on Gunblast.com in the archives. Kelye @ Belt Mtn

Well I decided the 475 being unfired is too nice for ME to take to the woods so I put it on an auction site.
I can probably buy a nice used 45/70 #1 and have $$ left over for brass and bullets.

Do you have a link to site?

I wasn't sure if an auction link was allowed so if it gets deleted I'll understand.

From what I have been told, there were two very small runs in 2009 and 2011. Mine was made/shipped in 2011.
