I'm lovin' it. L to R:

480 Ruger Ltwt 4"
44 Mag Long Hunter / Fishpaw
500L Nimrod / Grashorn Stag
45 Colt 5-shot Long Hunter Ltwt 4-3/4" / Grashorn Sheep

Nice Arsonel their buddy! Bowen is the best IMO!

Good - no, GREAT - looking revolvers!

maybe one day I can get Bowen to work on one of my Rugers.........sigh.
Those are beautiful, and very functional.

Very cool!

I don't allow myself to click on Bowen's website more than once a year. The man (and his crew) write the definition of craftsmanship.

Something in the .38-40, and .32-20/.327, and .357, and perhaps the .25-20 range is missing from that otherwise amazing line up.

None O' them hold a candle to a Uberti...

Love that Nimrod! A little more personality that my FA offers.

Very nice! Grips on the 4" 480 Ruger are made by...?

That Long Colt is my favorite.

Nice revolvers.

Beautiful revolvers, sir.

Some time back I took my Stainless Bisley .45 Colt to him and had him do his action job, freewheel pawl, target rear and front sight, and install his oversize base pin.
Later, I had cylindersmith open the throats (kinda wish I had had that done by Bowen as well). The finished product simply hits where pointed. Easily.

As I live in Middle TN, I took the pistol to him and went back to pick it up. Not only is he a top notch 'smith, he's a heck of a nice guy. I could've talked to him all day, but made every effort not to.

I'll probably be buried with my Bisley, unless I have him build me a really nice "BBQ" gun someday........

They are factory black micarta grips. Picked them up somewhere. I thought they looked great on the stainless gun.

The 45 is the only one that I ordered as I wanted it. I should have scanned the letter that he sent me when he was going to start working on mine. Looks like it was typed with an old manual typewriter and the letters were all out of line. I'll see if I can remember to scan it at work tomorrow.

I hear you. I've been looking at this 25-20. Probably not a bad deal with the book if you've seen what they've been selling for lately.

Buddy of mine has one that Bowen did in .480 like your 1st one posted there. That thing is fun to shoot, and un-believably accurate!
Bowen's work, while not cheap, is worth every penny, IMO!

A .25-20 Bowen would kick so much ass that Chuck Norris would be in awe.

i was pissed at myself for awhile as i missed a signed copy of that book for a lil of nothing at a gun show by seconds....really want a 480 single action like above

Very nice collection.

My pick of the litter is the .45 Colt.

The Fishpaw grips on the .44 are superb as always.

Nice collection! That letter he sends does look like it came from and old typewriter. I just got a letter from him last week.

Bowen is, in my experience, the most responsive of the custom revolver builders; his emails are always informative and prompt.

Very nice. While I like his work and own a couple I prefer Alan Harton for my customs.
