Well, since my 32-40 is down, how's this one look? Bigger is better right, how about shooting free recoil?

He must have had enormous hands to reach from the grip to the trigger if that frame is the size stated. (and it is)
Wonder if Westerner could fire it offhand- probably doesn't recoil hard at that weight Roll Eyes

For the confused mere mortals, I am sure instructions are included. Not sure that any object / rifle can be or look confused, confusing perhaps.

Oh it definitely can look confused. It's not sure if it wants to be an assault single shot rifle, or a custom elephant gun, or some combination of things. So confused.

But the real question is can it be breech seated and if so how? Wonder if you need a hydraulic assist on the bullet seater. LOL Smiley

If you are man enough to heft that rifle onto the bench, you are stout enough to seat the gigantic bullet. But, how long could a strong man go while casting those babies? Mold alone must be a considerable chunk of metal to hold onto.

If you get it send it to me and I will make a breech seater. Just won’t be test firing it though. Send the gun bearer along as well.

Presumably what the tweeds and bow tie wearing sniper crowd would covet. "I say, old man. Do you think you can pot that terrorist over there in that heather-covered moor? It's too much of a stretch for my Holland's." "By jove, Egbert, I think I can. Permit me to whistle up my gun bearer. Would you be a good chap and hold my 50-year old MacAllan please? Reminds me of that time back in '41 when I made that devilish shot upon that Jerry outside Tobruk who was frying an egg on his panzer a mile away, what."
