Milton; the 40” barrels were a work of art. Think about how long this ribbons had to be to make 40” tubes - and they were made with one long ribbon. I was told 40” barrels were common for hunting off horseback do as to get the muzzle blast away from the horse.

Pape is often referred to as “the Purdy of the north” and all of their hammerguns that I have seen have been spectacular. Jaquas had a Pape 16 hammer in their rack for quite a while and I regret not finding a way to buy it.
