I can see that one sticking out of a car window like a cane pole to get it to the range
When I traveled with it it had to go in a pickup with an 8' box or surprisingly, it would fit in my wife's KIA Soul. :o

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

  It's really Mike's canoe
gun on steroids....
I could load that gun in a canoe, no problem. No more problem than the one I used to use that had a 4' barrel.

You could load that gun in a canoe, while it sat back in camp.

I have a 60” 75-cal smoothie barrel by Greg Christian, so add his name to the list.

I was mistaken. I just received a reply email from Rice and was told they do offer what I need. YAY!!

Jason at Rice makes octagon to round barrels. How long he goes I'm not sure but he just sent me a 47" custom barrel I ask for.

Larry Horrigan in Michigan will make you anything you want up to 60 inches in a PC profile.

You will have to forgive me. What is a PC profile?

Well, Mr. Horrigan is making me a 50" barrel and I can't wait to see it! Very nice gentleman to deal with.

I'm pretty sure that Jason (Rice) and Charlie (Burton) are limited to 48".  Or both were the last time I checked.
