Too small for 1/2 scale mountain howitzers.  They take 4".

Hmmmmm,,,,,,
That's one REAL long gun barrel.

Ya know--- the last guy that built a gun with a abnormally long barrel used the side of a mountain for the 'stock'.
He was also hunted down, and killed by the MOSAD...... (Isreali Secret Police).
But on the bright side--- they did make a really great movie about him a few years later.........

Hey,,
I don't mean to scare ya or nothing.... Your barrel just reminded me of that,
and I sort of got to remonising....

/////////

Then again-  30' of 3",,,,,,,,, divided by 6. ...........
(pondering,,, while scratching the top of bald head)
-------- that'd make the barrels for one heck of a large cal. Gattling gun.

I doubt we shall ever see their likes again".
