I know of one or two .500 Black Powder Express (BPE) double rifles for sale. They could be chambered for either the 3" or the 3 1/4" .500 BPE cartridge. I wonder if any fellow members know of any sources for these cartridges and prices of the same.
Regards

Not for sale obviously, but I did see & handle a RB Rodda .500BPE SxS Double Rifle, which rather oddly was an official part of the local police inventory in days bygone...probably to help the forest department in dealing with problem animals.... I do vaguely recall posting pictures of it here some time back. Splendid pair of tubes if I may add.... but alas no more goli or kookha

Cases are available from Bertram. There is no commercially made ammunition however.
There`s also the .500 No.2 BPE.
