A Fabrique Nationale Belgium Sporting Commercial Mauser in the Old School Caliber of .224 Rem

This what happens when you get somebody that really knows their way around a Machine Shop. Who is also given some really great material to work on and then has the time to do it right. When the rare event happens this is the end result. Grumpy

Now that is what I call a massive hunk of High Quality US Steel!!

14″/45 caliber Mark 1 Mod 1 guns and turrets of USS Texas (BB-35) and USS New York (BB-34) under construction at Bethlehem Steel Corporation. The turret shield was 14 inches thick at the face, 9 inches on the sides, 8 inches at the rear and the roof was 5.75 inches thick. The full turret without shells weighted 532 tons. The maximum range of these guns at 15° elevation was over 12 miles (20 km). It costed $777 in 1914, or $20090.55 in 2019, to fire one gun.

The first turret was installed in USS Texas on March 5, 1913.
