As far as I know, the largest Parker was a 7 frame 40 1/2" barrel 8 gauge.
Has anyone seen barrels longer?----------Daryl Middlebrook |

I have, and have shot, my 27 pound P. Mullin 4 bore with 48" barrels.
No wheels, but back in the day, both the Parker and the P. Mullin were supplied with two "Porters" as a standard accessory. One carried the gun and one carried the ammunition.-----Back in the day, the "standard" load for a 4 bore was 4 ounces of shot. Many market hunters loaded more. Actually, I found the recoil not to be to bad. 27 pounds of gun did its job. The difficulty for me is just holding the gun up to fire it. |

At some point I wouldn't mind get my hands on "an original" Punt gun . Been wanting one of those ever since I read James Michners novel Cheasapeake 10 or 15 years ago. Be kinda neat to get and old bronze barreled english made punt gun if such a thing actually existed !

I've seen quite a few punt guns and they've all either had what appeared to be wrought steel barrels on them of one kind or another. Never seen or heard of one that had bronze but I've certainly not see them all. Mine has a forged steel barrel, it's about 6 feet long.
