Seen one at a show a couple years ago. Just found another over at Gunbroker.

Thought some here could enjoy that kind of plinker.

Ah, the Lady Streetsweeper... Avoided being reclassified as a DD only because it's bore was smaller than .50"

Haven't seen one in a goodly long time.....

Well that's cool. Looks like the kick would be pretty uncontrollable, though. Ammo wouldn't be exactly cheap, either.

Or you could get a .458socom upper for your AR

WhenI talked to the owner of the one I seen ata show, he said it was actually very controllable. I mean that is a prety hefty gun. My dads 45/70 bbl for his TC kicks the shit out of ya, but it doesnt have the weight this does. Also as long as you keep it loaded you have the weight of 12 rounds of 45/70. Pretty cool though, I have to admit.

Would be cool to have one of those chambered in a .470 NE, talk about packing a punch.
