Give or Get a Gun (or related item) for Christmas?

[cobb]

how "miniature" is it? (hard to judge scale in those shots)

edited to add:
and what kind of fuze/ball does it take?

The wheels are 4 1/2 inches tall, the barrel is about 5 inches long and the basic overal length is about 10 inches.

The bore measures about .308 as measured with a calipers.

Gonna' load it up with some 150 gr Nosler Partitions?

[quote="David Slam"]I didn't get all of these for Christmas, but they're all within the last month or so.

Are you open to adopting someone, I 'm sure many of us would get in line. I had asked Westberg but Ron said I was too old, and did not shoot well enough to join team Westberg. Well OK, no I didn't ask, but that would be a fair response.

I am one of those weird people who like to clean guns if that helps David.

I bought myself this book. Kind of a let down after seeing all of David's cool stuff.

So far its been a very good read. Not a real technical book but more of an actual history about the rifle, how it developed and the role it played in American history as a whole.

I sold all the beds in my house so that I'd have room for guns. Sorry, no place for you to sleep! We could go shooting though....

Fast351 very nice.

These are some sweet guns (and one sweet cannon). My question is why have these not received their own individual threads that they so richly deserve?

As much as I envy Cobb's artillery piece, (it be fun on the desktop loaded with wad and black powder just for fun) I want one of these....apparently the people who do this sort of thing out near Litchfield are relatives of the wife....

16 pound bowling ball to 2000 yards. or less.

Are these the same group that put out food for feral cats and then tries to drop one in on them when they come to feed?
The reason I ask is that I saw a picture awhile back when they finally got one.



A friend of mine has just built a cannon that fires a 1 pound lead ball. They were going to test it on an old car, firing into the grill and seeing how far one pound of lead, at I believe he said 800 feet per second, would penetrate.

There is something so right about that last sentence that I thought I would highlight it God bless the USA!!
