Okay, maybe not "ever" (yeah, thank you Anzio Iron Works), but it has a shoulder stock and it's bigger than a Lahti.

Found it this weekend when I went to visit a very cool collector. :)

Could you imagine pulling the trigger on that damn thing.....ok, I'd love to. but I know it would hurt.
 
It's a .65 caliber Chinese wall gun. Bigger than the 13mm Mauser (this gentleman had one of those too).

I'm just glad I didn't have to be the guy dragging it through the Long March...
 
I love the cleaning rod! Best part 6foot long cleaning rod adds another 5lbs
 
That's awesome! By the way, I'm subscribed to you on YouTube. Cool videos.
 
Thanks, Derp - I've got a really cool one today...

This was a black power gun, using a slightly tapered cartridge about the size of a .50BMG. Screw-thread type locking lugs at the rear of the bolt (which, BTW, is about the size of your typical framing hammer).
 
If its Chinese, should it not be a.......Great Wall gun?

Thank you. You've been a wonderful audience.

Very good, sir.
I applaud you, and perhaps whistle approvingly.
 
Wasn't somebody (Scarlatta?) doing an article on them recently? I seem to remember a thread in the Gunboards BPCR forum asking for a survey of examples, pictures and info from the collectors there.
