In my hands. Gunsmith was not thrilled with sighting the sights, I will see. Some trouble with brass, this batch appears to be on the thin side, required a neck sizer (captech found old note in Jamison desk drawer with 9/1000 minimum!!!). I am guessing A^2 was also cheap.
CZ action into a CZ stock I bought, a McGown barrel turned to the stock (the RIP recommended 1:12 twist, Wisner drop bottom metal and both express and peep. Rifle balanced with .375" diameter tungsten rod in the buttstock. Feels good to me.
Photo bucket appears to let me post, who knows.... (But painful)

had a chance to by a LH 495 in a asquare Ceaser rifle...wish I would have bit it off...pretty rifle---put it to good use...

Art developed the 495 A-Square when there started to be rumblings about countries banning 50-cal and up weaponry.

Sorry buddy, I don't think this one is right- the 495 is the shorter version of the 500, and that's the only real difference, as it still uses a .510 bullet...

i have the first 49 caliber barrel, EVER, and i paid for the tooling

Jeff, from what I understand, they called it that to avoid the 50 & over scrutiny, if in name only.

nope, it's the .500 measurement - yep, said .500 which is why the 500 smith and other wizbangs are .500 not .510
