My "Shotgun" is a piece of aluminum tent pole painted black mounted to an early Mouser stock with a couple hand made brass bands. The "Shotgun" was mounted on a pipe stand so the end of the barrel was about seven feet in the air.  I would have people walk straight up to the gun and tell me they heard that all the way across the grounds and they just HAD TO come see what it was.   If you knew the Buckley show grounds,,,, You would know what he was talking about.
