Yes Jiri, *By the way, welcome to the board!
Hamilton Bowen is making them if you supply the .357 Maximum Ruger Frame! *He does very nice work, and is top drawer all the way!
Also take a look at David Clements. *His work is superb, his turn around time good, and his pricing structure reasonable. * He's done work for me in the past and it has been first rate in every sense of the word!
Here are links to both:
Bowen Classic Arms (www.bowenclassicarms.com)
Clements Custom Guns (www.clementscustomguns.com)
Either maker will provide you a maximum!
Thinking of getting a big boomer built? *Sounds like fun!
God Bless,
Marshall
Jiri,
In doing some research on building a custom revolver I came across Phillips and Rogers at www.phillipsrogers.com They do extended frame guns even including the .450 Marlin!

JIRI, START YOUR WRIST THERAPY THE DAY YOU ORDER THE MAXIMUM. hehehe. I WILL STICK WITH THE 1.400 LENGTH LINEBAUGH CARTRIDGES. THE 440s @ 1350+ ARE ATTENTION GETTERS. ALL I CARE TO HANG ON TO. SOUNDS INTERSTING, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND OUT. I WAS GOING TO GET A CUSTOM BUILT BUT NOW IM IN THE MARKET FOR ANOTHER FA REVOLVER. JIM.
Getting the long huh?
Well I know that Gary Reeder does offer it and I think that Alpha Precesion does too.
However, I have a friend who is looking into building a 500 Long and Bowen told him that they don't offer the 475 or 500 anymore. But they will build him the 458 Behemoth or the 45 5-shot.
I shot a 475 Max with 350 gr Golden Bears clocked at just under 2000fps. And I honestly couldn't tell the difference in it and either a hot 475 or 500. Although the 500 tends to push more than the 475.
Well good luck either way,
God Bless
