Forgive me if this has already been posted, but I just found out that John Linebaugh passed at his home in Cody in March. I know some here have a six gun customized by him or shoot guns chambered in cartridges he developed.
I had the pleasure of meeting him in Cody last June at the annual big bore shoot. He did not mince his words when it came to six guns, but told it like it was.
He will be missed by the shooting community. My condolences to his family and friends.

An Official Journal Of The NRA | In Memoriam: John Linebaugh—1955-2023
John Linebaugh, inventor of the .500 and .475 Linebaugh cartridges and custom pistolsmith, died March 19 at his home in Clark, Wyo. The road that led him to a permanent place in gunmaking history was far from a typical one.
