Updated June 27, 2008

From time to time, we will have shop sample guns, prototypes, parts and other items for sale. All are in excellent condition unless otherwise noted. All are available on a first come, first served basis. Please note that we are always willing to entertain trades—please see our WANTED section.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION -- PLEASE READ

Except as otherwise noted, all guns sold in the 'For Sale' section are built to the same exacting standards as bespoke guns ordered through our catalog of services. Modifications performed on these guns are described in detail at our on-line Catalog section. Sales of these guns are governed by the terms, conditions and limitations spelled out at our on-line CATALOG, TERMS, IMPORTANT INFO, CONTACT US sections and the downloadable order form. Feel free to get in touch with any questions. bcacorp@nxs.net

Before committing to the purchase of firearms listed for sale here, please make certain that your state will allow their importation. Some states, particularly California, Massachusetts and, perhaps, New York, may not allow the production of or purchase of custom guns from out of state or guns of certain vintages which may not meet state-imposed 'safety' and design mandates. It is imperative that you consult with your local authorities in hostile jurisdictions before order or purchase. In any case, firearms can be shipped only to an FFL holder. Bear in mind that there may be local charges in the form of NICS fees, state and local sales taxes and dealer transfer fees.

Please note also that we're currently very interested in purchasing or taking certain guns in trade: Stainless std. Redhawk, a .44 Super Redhawk, blue and stainless adj.-sight Bisleys, .44 Flat Tops and .38/44 HD S&Ws. We also need N-frame target-style barrels, blue or stainless in .41, .44 and .45 cal. 6in. or longer lengths. Now is a good time to dispose of surplus guns. Keep an eye on this section for some fantastic guns. (also see our short list below) As guns are completed, we'll post photos of them unless already sold.

Bowen Classic Arms Corp. bcacorp@nxs.net



.500 Linebaugh Ruger Bisley with Octagonal Barrel: Built in our usual 5-shot style (please see cat. nos RS07(oct) and RS10 for details). This particular gun features a graceful 7 1/2 in. barrel and is a handsome package for this now classic big-bore caliber. Grip frame is decked for custom grips but is fitted with factory grips at present. Price is $3195; delivery Fall of 2008. Color case receiver, gate and hammer ava. for $295 extra.
Best-quality .50 Special Ruger Blackhawk: Built some years ago and unfired since original sighting and testing, this revolver is one of the finest we have ever built. We produce very few of our 'best' Ruger revolvers; this one is No. 15 and represents a unique opportunity to purchase a truly collectible custom revolver. This particular gun started out as a Blackhawk and has had the top strap welded and re-machined to S&W M&P fixed-sight style, perhaps the handsomest version possible on a single-action revolver. The round barrel features an integral front sight base with a pinned-in sight blade. A set of Paul Persinger one-piece ivory grips are fitted to a Power Custom two-piece grip frame. As befits a gun of this quality, the cylinder is line bored to the receiver and flutes and black powder cylinder chamfers machined. The exterior metalwork has been completely filed, stoned, trued and polish, detailed to a very high degree. Pivot screws are regulated and, along with the grip frame screws, nitro blued; the ejector housing screw is also blended to the tube contours. Chromoly (blue) steel with finely brushed finish is suited for engraving or further finishing with color hardening, etc. Price is $7500; available for immediate delivery.
