Sadly, I do not own a 500 pistol. I have a Freedom Arms 83 in .454 Casull. I would love to have a .454 rifle to match, but we were afraid the Chamber pressures would way too high. A hot loaded 454 round can get into the 60,000+ psi range! the 475 Linebaugh also has a high chamber pressure. Once Aaron builds the rifle I'll post pictures and review.

Back to a Linebaugh pistols… someday maybe. I keep looking on GB and GI. To get a true Linebaugh, you have to buy a perfectly good Ruger first and then scrap it. On the other hand, in comparison to double rifle prices, the $3000 pistol ain't nuthin
