Title: Big Ass Gun
Post by: bayonetbrant on September 19, 2012, 11:10:08 AM
Taken @ NC Museum of Natural Science, a 19th-Century hunting rifle.
For perspective, that's my wife's hand on the lower left.

I saw some similar weapons in a military museum in Norway when I was there a couple years ago.  I'll see if I can find some pictures to post.

I'm thinking that, too,

I've always wanted a 4 bore. To complement, rather than compensate.

Yes. Really liked it as I recall. Nothing like an American going to Australia to show off guns. ;)
