ouch!!!!
who pulled the trigger on that one????

Recoil would be non-issue.  My .50 Cal chunk setup is lightweight at ~15#, and 100 gr. Goex 2f is barely noticeable.  That gun could probably be loaded to 150 gr. and not hurt a thing.  Carrying it around on the other hand...

Reckon I  would be using the kids as gun layers, you just stay at the but end, 1 kid rams a charge home, next kid, the patched ball, the third kid, spikes you around or wedges the muzzle till you are ok, then all you do is squeeze off !! @!*% that is some rifle gun !! reckon it would make the down under fun police have a big old coniption fit !! Will be most interested on a range report , Merry Christmas to you all from Down Under !!

Sequatchi,
In one post you say it is 8'2" overall and also that it has an 8' barrel ?? I have a fowler with a 6' barrel that is 7'4" overall.

Amazing. I have a Bowers/Rayl chunk gun too, but as has been said, I can't show it here, well, because, you know. My barrel is .54cal x 54" long. Shooting it is a workout cuz it weighs 33lbs. What's the weight on this 8-footer?

yes, I can't imagine loading or cleaning it.

Just use water, no carb or brake cleaners, Windex, eye of Newt potion or anything containing bear grease or bees wax.
