Well that blows it for me. I’m all cool with the $49,995 but to charge for engraving! That’s highway robbery!

I think Roland’s nailed it. Looks like a good Cape Buffalo gun.

Kevin nailed it too, bet it weighs a ton.

I want one.

Seems like a good idea for dangerous game. A quick follow-up shot with a quick reload. Notice the express sights. I would really like to know more about this firearm. My guess would be it was manufactured by one of the British makers for use on the continent.

I bet that sucker’s HEAVY.

And what happens when you fire only one barrel? It looks like there’s no way to extract and eject only the empty case.

Another solution looking for a problem, it would appear.
