That's sort of funny to me Mark. I looked what has to be that same Gunbroker offering up yesterday. 159146 caught my eye. How about an A grade 16 ga with 32" tubes. I could make it work.

Here are some photos of a 40" (40.5" actually) NH 8g. built in 1899.

Gun weighs in at around 16.5 lbs. Un-struck weight on barrels was 12.5 lbs.

A 36" 8ga feels balanced compared to this cannon!
