Wow. That is not cheap to feed, lead or powder.

if you have 4K to buy it I guess your not too worried about the price per round

19 pounds. Not gonna carry that around all day!

I would be more worried about my shoulder and neck/spine. Than my bill fold. Man I must be getting old.

If that don't get you to flinching nothing will.

When i see stuff like that I wonder to myself, what was the guy thinking that built the first one of those?

ivory = wealth

That seems kinda cheap for a gun like that, if I was into muzzle loaders I’d probably buy it.

Hey Nessie! What yinz think about this beast?

Not anymore, Danny. You can't import ivory, at least not raw ivory.

Wowzzza, I would think them 4oz balls would make for some serious recoil.
Danny, if you buy that thing I will be more than happy to watch YOU not me shoot the darn thing. I am sure my bullet traps would do fine, but don't think I want ya shooting the plates. Speed usually kills the plates, but that big of a ball may just bend them into a C shape.

Maybe go to Oklahoma and see if it will kill hogs?

I went to africa a few years back with my son who was hunting. A couple days into the hunt, trackers found an elephant track dragging its front leg. Got permission from game commission that night to hunt it next day. My son killed it and when skinned, had two round balls almost an inch in diameter in front shoulder.

You dont have to carry it if you are the Bawana

Holy crap !

That's the job of your native gun bearer, who follows around behind you,
& the professional hunter, toting your heavy double rifle for you !!!

A Marine could carry one all day. The BAR was over 19lbs when loaded.

Would be fun but to much money in my budget for a toy.

From what I have read they often loaded it with a HANDFULL of black powder.

Sir Samuel Baker had a 2 Gauge built - he called it "baby" think it was near 30 pounds in weight
