Thank you for that I was expecting to see the 950 JDJ

Driven by it many times, Had no idea it is a working rifle.

[Kestrel4k]

Is it rifled ?

[Wayne Smith]

Is the bore bigger than 16"? That's the naval rifle on the battleships.

Don't know. It might actually be a smoothbore but I assume the builder would have known about rifling and nomenclature.

Im more curious is the barrel sleeved together in the navel gun method or 1 piece, not many machines that can drill a hole that deep straight and true. Also is the stock one piece or sections? Think of the tree that piece of wood came from. Its interesting to say the least

[Shawlerbrook]

Surprised the Biden DOJ ain’t locking them all up for some crime.

Governor Gretchen will get after them for not following the safe storage law.

I'm thinking well casing.

Would be a little odd if it rec'd a Guiness Record for 'largest rifle' without even being a rifle ...

Me too !

[JSnover]

Me too !

That makes three of us but the last time they did that it caused a few issues...

[45workhorse]

You would think it would have better looking wood!!

I remember was that movie a while ago. Do you remember what it was called or even better, where you can find it? I would like to watch it again. Thanks.

I love those old time tourist traps. Way better than Interstate driving. When I was running coast to coast I always tried to take 2 lanes if I wasn't pressed for time

Look for "Doomsday Gun." I've found a couple of old movies on YouTube, others on some of the alternate providers like Peacock, Hulu, Philo, etc...
