    Well this is BIG!

    The Biggest naval cannons of WW2 was the 18.1-inch (46 cm) naval guns equipped on the Japaneseicon battleships Yamato and Musashi.

    Dora railway gun - HOLD MY BEER!

    A massive 31 inch/800 mm shell from the Germanicon 'Dora' railway gun next to a Jeep.... shells weighing 7 tons and had a range of 29 miles/47 km!

    The jeep adds a good context to the actual size of the projectile which I think I've seen a projectiles pic of one at Bovington.
    Not sure if these weapons lead the USAicon to try the HARP cannons.

    Schwerer Gustav Was the Largest Gun Ever Made -

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I think he has booked a flight to Bovington to try and get that round, may have trouble with baggage though!
