A little bigger than the Askins/Keith Magnum-10 NID, at the NRA Convention in Reno in 1987, the Southern California Arms Collectors display included a Charles Edward Sneider, 214 W. Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland, hammerless double in 4-gauge with 38-inch barrels which was said to weigh 28 1/2 pounds. Punt gun. JR Certainly not. An engraved Sneider sidelock hammerless double. Undoubtably for a member of Baltimore's well-heeled that "shot the bar" with their big 4-gauges at the Carroll's Island Ducking Club. See C. John Sullivan Jr.'s book Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Decoys & Long Guns, Tales of the Carroll's Island Ducking Club. Ok, maybe a "semi-punt" then. But I would argue that a 28 1/2 lb. 4 gauge with 38" barrels is unwieldable for wingshooting. JR
