This is a REAL big bore. I like the part where the owner says "you don't flinch, you duck!"

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

AllenBoselyI wonder if that woud turn an elephant with a near brain head shot?
The new "in the thick jesse elephant stopper".
It's a Mauser thing, you wouldn't understand.

jeffeossoIf you look at the pics, you'll see some pics of the bullets.. not hugely impressive, and less so when you realize it's a steel, not lead bullet...
13mm =.511
92mm = 3.6"
looks like (though it's a bit longlonger) a 577/500 sporting round with a long STEEL bullet.
though the ones in the pics are probably 642gr milsurp 50s
the tanks of WWI were just plate covered tractors..
I would GUESS it's more or less a 510 wells

MasteriflemanAllwnBosley - As I recall, they are not control round feed but have an extractor like the 1891 Argentine (SAKO style). Being single shot, it doesn;t much mtter. That rifle appears to be in original condition, anyone know it's value?

RiodotI saw this gun in an episode of "Mail Call" on the History Channel last week.
WWI mobile anti-tank gun.
I think they said it weighed about 40+ lbs

RobgunbuilderI've shot one. Basically no different than a .50 BMG. They are very heavy and the recoil was Ho-Hum! There is one couple at FCSA meets that has a .50BMG made using the action. It actually shoots pretty well.-Rob
