Top gun in the picture, looks pretty small compared to a 6 frame 36" 8 gauge.

Wonder what was going on in Grant, Montana, 121 years ago to warrant such a shotgun? At 5800 ft. elevation, 20 miles east of Lemhi Pass (a dirt road) on the Continental Divide, in way southwestern Montana, Grant is only listed as a "populated place" now.

How about the gentleman who ordered a 36" top action eight gauge to shoot buckshot, to be delivered to his address in Death Valley? What was he shooting?

Thank you, Craig. Pose it with a few 26-28" Parkers and it won't look so outsized.
