And they are getting ready to fire it. Negotiations starting at $75,000.

And Rick offers him $45,000. And leaves empty handed!  Beautiful gun for being built in the 1870's.

M&T should hook up the trailer and haul the Monster Mortar to Vegas and ask $75,000 for that and then buy us all beer.

     A capital idea, Double D. !   No doubt they would want to fire it before an offer was made.  Wanting to make a good impression we would probably slip another half pound of powder in her, for 2 pounds total, under one of those 137 pound  concrete-filled water cooler jugs for a nice BANG!! on firing and a 500 yard flight.  Rick would certainly choose Chumley to fire the Beast and after I explained the various ignition methods he would choose a quick match quill and a Bic lighter for Chumley's amusement! 

We might even make enough to buy everyone a full case.

Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin'-cool,
I walks in my old brown gaiters along o' my old brown mule,
With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
It's only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets - 'Tss! 'Tss!

For marketing you need to loose the water jugs and come pup with a couple round balls... up your asking to $90,000 and Rick will come back at $15,000.

Make mine a case of Iverson  IPA, which I will serve at CBCCII.

Watching the video I noted the Gatling gun was in the background, most likely they shot both episodes the same day so they only had to make one trip, I believe much of PS is staged especially the episodes with Tortuga trading as their "expert" I believe more than likely it is some of their stock walking through the door to keep the show interesting,
