Coloradoyaler: Safarikid is in the book (p. 349-350) and the rifle, too (p.397)!
My 4 weighs a puny 22 pounds (also in the book).
Alaskaman11: The 155mm project is almost complete.
Safarikid: For the last 6 years the Bush Club has been a gay bar. What's going on here?!
Cheers to you all,
Cal

I will always have fond memories of shooting airborne items with my big 4-bore double shotgun and its 42-inch barrels on our drive to Seward.
Good times, mate.

Gentlemen:

You really need to put wheels on those things. And, do they come with caissons? By the way, how manny rounds can you fit within 5 kilos?

Big doubles, such as Safarikid's 4, and mine also, look cool as they are bug doubles but we only use them as single shots. We keep a sandwich and coke in the second barrel.
Cheers,
