Selma Hunter turned me onto a friend of his who builds museum quality scale models and yesterday I took delivery of S10 (divided by 8).

Naturally we had to try it out.  The bore is 7/8".  Here we are sending a round down range:

Wow, what a really nice model.  Really well detailed.  From your video it really looks powerful for such a small gun.

Wow is right Carl, it does look like it packs a good punch. Great looking scale model Mike.

Absolutely falls into the category of "Big Boy Toy".  :)
