I built one of those some years ago.
Nice picture of the British Long Range Musket
Wall guns and punt guns fascinate me. Interesting carriage that one is mounted on, too. I've never seen one like that.
Some years ago a fellow had a contemporary wall gun for sale at a show I was attending. I was sorely tempted, but the $5,000. he was asking was a bit too much for my pocketbook.
There is an old story that I heard back in my native New Jersey about a wall gun. It seems that during the F&I War a series of blockhouses were built along the Delaware River, on the Jersey side, as a defense against Indian raids. A Jerseyman by the name of Holloway stood in one of those forts and used a wall gun to pick off an Indian that he had spotted standing on the Pennsylvania side of the river, somewhere around 1000 yards away.
