London Best Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 8-bore guns aren’t no longer legal for quarry shooting in the US. I believe. This means they are pretty well sold for collection purposes only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushandpull Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 They are certainly banned under federal law for shooting migratory species such as waterfowl and doves. For rabbits and non-migratory species I have seen contradictory accounts, Perhaps simcgunner or Cleist06 could throw light on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcgunner Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 For migratory wildfowl nothing larger than 10 bore allowed. some states allow use for turkey and coyote and tower shoots. very limited hunting opportunities. 8 bore clay matches are gaining in popularity at vintage shotgun meets. and they are commanding premium prices at auction, especially the old American makers Parker,LC , Lefever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushandpull Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Good to hear that. Like vintage vehicles, these pieces ought to be out there being (gently) used rather than locked away in museums and private collections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcgunner Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 I show antique wildfowling guns at the mid- Atlantic wildfowling heritage museum a couple of times a month. Many folks never heard of and very few have seen an 8 bore or 4 bore gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
