	Marcot's book has some good pictures. But unfortunately I don't have my copy right now! Loaned it to my son in law recently, and probably wont see it until he's done drooling over the pictures!

	A 25# Roller definitely caught my interest. Looking forward to seeing it. Flatlander

	I found the picture and blog on the build. It was Gene Cordner who built this beast.

	Holy cow! That barrel is so large it makes the #1 action look like a #4 Rolling Block!! Unusual stock design for a benchrest gun!

	Not a big fan of the way the upper tang was bent down. I prefer Remington's version where upper tang stayed straight, and lower was curved to make a pistol grip. This is one I'm working on presently. A military .43 Spanish that I swapped in a new style Remington Rolling Block lower tang and stock to: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	I have had quite a few single shots over the years ,Ballard,high walls rollers, but nothing ever like this.I wanted something different and was shopping for a big barrel for a percussion build. I came across this one in 32/40 and I did not want to change it into a percussion barrel.This is why I will build it back into a cartridge rifle . I will garintee that it is the only one in my neck of the woods.

	I've seen quite a few single shot target rifles with extremely large barrels. Not as big as that 25 lb. barreled gun you pictured, but probably 15-16 lb. barrels. I am fascinated by them also, and keep telling myself I want to build up a big heavy bench gun similar to the ones I've seen at some gun shows. I don't want to go so large that the shank has to be offset to work though.

	Barry Darr built a 32-40 with a 3 inch diameter barrel and it was up for sale a few years back but someone bored out the barrel and it ended up being a 40 cal if memory serves right and they completely destroyed its collector value. I believe Bud Welch was the one who found the need to ruin it. JLouis

	I have a B.W.Darr barrel on an old English Martini action. It is a 32-40 and it is a jewel.
