Mark Conrad's New Big Bore

[Mark Conrad]

Bruce, you are right, Charlie, Jim Hall, Allan and I have had some fun with this piece. I doubt if I get out there any time soon. Thanks for the memories.

I'm thinking that is an SP 8 inch rather than a 155. Some Redleg out there ought to be able to say for sure.

Gents, I believe that Marks big bore is just that!, but it's in a big V-8 450 or 500HP am I right Mark?

[J.B. Books]

Mine's bigger.

[Richard Flanders]

Can't possibly balance at the hinge pin....

Hey Pete, Where did ya find that nice single trap? 34 foot barrels?

[J.B. Books]

There was a pair of them in Rye NH during WWII and I always wanted one. Recoil is a little stiff with the 2700 pound shot charge but not too bad with the lighter 1900 pound load.
