A Pointer on both side-plates of that 8-gauge! What upland game was that gun used for?

On the other end of the Lefever scale, I have this 28-gauge that the late Bill Harvey of Colara, Maryland, built, starting with a Durston Special 20-gauge with a blown barrel.

That's a very cool old gun for sure. How long are the barrels on that 8 gauge Craig? And what do you think it weighs?

The longest 8ga Lefever barrels made in believe are 34". Weight would be about 13 lbs.
