SOLD: Hate to let this one go as it is hands down the finest Linebaugh revolver I've ever seen. .500 Linebaugh Vaquero built by John and after the fact was sent to Turnbull for case coloring and carbona bluing. Uncommon fluted cylinder and 2 gold bars on the front sight. This gun is unfired since it's return from Turnbull. John did the grips too. I have the invoice from Turnbull for the polishing, coloring and blue work. If I recall correctly Turnbull did the fluting on the cylinder too. Make sure your FFL will accept from a non FFL holder and that the .510 is legal in your local. PM with questions. Located in NM (where did that go in my signature?) $6000 shipped to your FFL. Thanks for looking!

First I'll take it trumps all....

Lots of inquiries so I thought I'd add some more photos. I neglected to mention a cool feature John does in relieving the inside of the loading gate for easier access. Also his son Dustin, master gunsmith in his own right did the grips before John started offering custom grips standard and came at a premium.

Beautiful gun! If I had not already had one of Johns 500 bisley vaqueros and realized I really had no good reason for keeping it when I had one of his adjustable sighted 475s I let it go. That said, if a person wanted a perfect example of the Linebaugh family’s skills and taste, it would be hard to top this one.
