.470--

You said it.

And I'm there with you all the way, cept the point that at eleven thou, alpha case doesn't amount to anything.
It does, but really the problem with that partucular gun was that someone screwed it up first, then it was used and came apart.
All the guy had for a barrel was "...half a poofteenth of sweet f**k all..." to start with.
Beautiful too, hats off to you there. I like your style.

note I put the description of that dude in quotation marks. I don't think he deserves the merit suggested by the words in quote.
not at all.

But really, here we have an english rifle not an american shotgun that's toast and who knows what the broken bits of barrel look like?
I sure would like to...
