sold me his 375 Howdah barrel. A few months later he sent me a little 6" 375 Jurras Howdah barrel. Being I already had the full length 375 Jurras Prototype barrel that I used on this piggie at Tellico Junction I just set the little mini barrel aside.

Being a bit of a dim witted Tennessee boy I never hunted with that little barrel, figuring it would have no power. I eventually sold it to a Jurras collector there in Tennessee. But a couple of years ago when Lee and I were talking about me bringing back the Howdah series he mentioned for me to build some little short barrels, that the folks would love them. That is what brought about the little Howdah barrels we are building now. And there are more to come.
