Wildfowler12 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 After years of procrastination, I’ve decided to take the plunge and buy an 8bore. They are very difficult to come by however, so please contact me if you know of any for sale - anything considered, although the reality is that I’ll probably only be able to afford a single Many thanks, Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misser Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 hi wildfowler...they are a good bit of fun, especially if you get into home loading...you could try Alan Myers at Winmarleigh (i think) i bought my sinle barrel army and navy a long time ago from him and he does...or should i say did all the reloading gear as well.....good luck in your search...atb....misser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler23 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Myershad a lovely double in last time I was there, and a smart single 4, think they were both £4K (don't hold me go that). There's a single 8 on guntrader with loading gear around £2.5k . This seems to be the going rate for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wb123 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I have often wondered how easily one could bore out a Spanish ten bore. They are rather cheap and I understand an importer did bore some tens out to eight for the UK market. Would taking a double ten to a machinist followed by the proof house scratch your itch?

moongeese Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Easily done, and if you chose a thick walled ten you have enough meat to do it. A few early drilled out guns bulged at the chambers with plastic wads as they were to tight. Also these guns were a bit light for what they were asked to do.
