Time is relentless, sooner or later it catches up with everyone. There is only one way to "never grow old", most all of us tend to procrastinate on that.
Yeah, you wouldn't want to lug this one around. That's what had me puzzled, I didn't think there were any short black powder rounds available that would generate enough recoil to warrant a gun weighing almost 10 pounds. Well, I think when it leaves the shop, it's going to leave lighter. The owner is another friend of mine, and I think he bought this because he wants a 10 gauge coach gun. He has sort of a hobby of buying guns to improve them. It seems he's moving on from creating trench guns to coach guns. It keeps him happy.
