A customer e-mailed this to me.  This thang is like an artillery piece.

Nice to look at, looks well-made, and definitely an interesting conversation piece.  But, to shoot...no thanks!  Not my idea of fun!

It's like an engraved double barrel 40mm gernade launcher

Looking at the case and doing a little math, I am assuming he is shooting a 4 gauge shotgun.  I stlill would like to shoot it, maybe not on a regular basis.  Talk about over bore.  I wonder how much powder is not completely burned with each shot and I would love to see the muzzle blast at night.  However, with the size of those tubes, you could burn your trash in there.
