Nice "Luparas". I bet blast and flash with Poppa will stun a perp with a near miss in low light.

FYI, one can get a MEC loader set up for the old 10 gauge 2 7/8" hull. Such loaded with say, 30 #1 buck might make a very user friendly load for this beast.

A local smith who worked on The More Is Better Principle had a Greener 10 setup like this. His load used full length brass hulls, 3F and balls for a 36 caliber cap and ball revolver. Impressive.

And, at least two of yours would make good quail guns. Tried them yet?....

nice lookin' SxS's. i imagine even being on the butt end of "papa bear" could be a bit uncomfortable, never mind the muzzle end :eek:
