Old Army we built in 475 and 510 caliber was no interest. We ran it for well over a year plus there was a big write up in either GUNS or American Handgunner and we still only got maybe 7 or 8 orders. Plus building the cylinder was an all day project. Extremely intricate. So it just wasn't worth the time and effort. to come out ahead we would have had to charge $3000 or more per gun.
