Double D., Since when did you become a citation wonk? If it looks like a monkey, if it's the same size as a monkey (4.1-4.2 Inch Bore), if it spits as far as a monkey (6,500 to 8,000 Yards), if it's chew weighs the same as a monkey's (28 Lbs.), then I call it a monkey. There is no uppity citation involved, just common sense.
If someone really wanted to add to this discussion, they would mention the name of the South African man who made several of the Long Cecil and Long Tom models, among others about 5 years ago in S.A. that were the best I have ever seen. Anybody save any of his website advertising pics? A computer crash deleted ours.
