I had this gun built for me by Bowen and took delivery around 2000-2001. I have the paperwork just have to put my hands on it. It is blued I believe it is one that Hamilton himself built or at minimum did considerable work on it. He was the only one I communicated with at the company regarding the build. At the time of the conversion I also had him install a steel ejector rod housing. Comes with the original yellow and black Ruger box.
Not much more needs to be said. You guys know well what this revolver is all about.
Price is $2795 shipped FFL to FFL. Payment by Postal Money Order.
Very nice. If I could still shoot the big bores I’d sure be interested. But alas my days of handling the recoil are over. Arthritis don’t you know will do that to a fellow. Good luck to the nice young fellow that buys it. It will kill anything in the USA.
Sorry, I thought all New models had "new model" on the side. It also has three screw heads on the pins, that's why I thought it was a three screw old model. Forgive my ignorance.

I believe Bowen restamps them because he has to open up the window for the cylinder. And the extra screw is added by bowen to block the action basically to make it lock up tighter.
The rear two are pins, slotted to look like screws. The front one is a real screw, used as action blocking, putting pressure on the no doubt over sized cylinder locking bolt.
