Hi All,

I have to choose between two famous gunsmith to build me a custom handgun probably a .475 Max.

First : John Linebaugh (I have one .500 Max bluilt by him) delevery time 2 years great work!!!

Second : Dave Clements I have seen some of his works and fire some of his custom guns delivery time less than 1 year

I know the FA's quality i own 2 FA.

Price is a little bit lower for Dave.

After seen that http://imageevent.com/fiveshooter/clements I think Dave is top gunsmith as John L. And my gun will have same options that this gun.

What will be you choice?

Thanks.

Jack Huntington also recesses the case rims ( and has for many years) Linebaugh does not to my knowledge

I liked the looks of the Clements gun in the link that you provided

Both are top gunsmiths and generally all around good guys. You said you already have one of John's conversions, so I would consider getting Dave to do this one.



If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out.

I'd buy a Gary Reeder 475 maximum, but that is just my preference.
