I ran across this 4 Bore while perusing Graham Mackinlays site in Scotland. Specs: Made 1981, 4 chambers, 36 barrels, 19.5lbs. Been fired 24 times. Min Walls are listed as thick. Pretty cool.

Im in the beginning stages of making a rifled version for a client. Will be much heavier at 24lbs with 24 barrels.

I have a friend in the UK who uses an 8 on geese. Perhaps you could use it to effect in a country that knows it is about the shooter and the limits and not the gauge.

Yes the USFWS should allow ORIGINAL single or double shotguns >10 bore with non-toxic shot for waterfowl, especially now that a hunter can blaze away with a 10 ga semiauto 3" 3 1/2" with hi-velocity loads. At least for species like Snow Geese where population reduction is a goal.

Funny a thread on 4-bores coming up. I was watching a video last night on youtube, "Clarissa and the countryman". In which it shows UK gunmaker Alan Myers machining a 4-bore double action. Anyone know if he is still kicking ? https://youtu.be/ytuZUhIa9Nc

Personally once market hunting was banned I dont see the need for the redundancy of gauge limits. A limit of birds is a limit of birds. Magazine capacity I can understand due to the tendency of some to pray and spray on last shot, often crippling.

bonney, yes Alan Myers still going as far as I know: https://b99.co.uk/gunsmith/preston/alan-myers-gun-makers/ Clarissa Dickson-Wright sadly is no longer with us but Sir Johnny Scott (Countryman) still is. It was quite a good little T.V. series. A friend, who I should see tomorrow if he turns up at the black powder shoot, has some contact with Alan Myers personally so I will ask him. Friend shoots wildfowl with muzzle loading big bores. A lot of wildfowlers here are going back to muzzle loaders in big bores as they can easily be loaded with Bismuth shot and a lot cheaper than making cartridges. Lagopus..

Yes i knew Clarissa dropped off the twig, sometime ago it was too. I remember the trendy lefties and anti's having a gloat about her passing. Just wondered if Alan was still going, he seemed to be a one-man band in the video, great skills and talent.
