That's OK, I quit bidding once I thought it was an 10 gauge. I almost bought it thinking I might be able to convert it. Really even if it is a 10 gauge you did not pay to much in my opinion. At the price of 10 gauge shells savings can add up pretty quick.

He referred to the shell holder diameter as 15/16". I emailed him that 15/16" is exactly the dimension of a ten gauge shell base. He replied to me, but didn't mention this in the ad. The dimension of an eight gauge shell base is one inch when it has the industrial base intact. The seller must have gone to "Funny School" where one inch converts to .85 as Phillip posts.

Charlie I am with you. Would love to have a conversion kit for an 8 gauge. I have an extra 600 just waiting to be converted. Also Charlie when you start shooting the Ball loads out of the 8 gauge I would really like to here more about this. I will be able to hunt all big Game in AZ now with the 8 with the exception of Bison. I would like to take a cow elk and a deer with mine.

This person was really messed up. 7/8 in is .875 not .775. He could not possible measure the rim diameter with a tape measurer. I am kind of relieing on the fact that he was told it was an 8ga not any of his measurements. Probable neither one of these fellows new what they are talking about. But it is worth the risk for 51.00.

Wayne, If it turns out to be a 10 and you do not want it, I am sure you can sell it here.
Charlie, I have the 8 gauge bug bad. I will send in next year for a cow permit in AZ as well as New Mexico. I think this would be a great 8 gauge hunt. I have shot a number of elk with a rifle and a Bow under 40 yards. I can not hunt elk with the 8 this year in AZ because I drew an Archery Bull tag for Unit 10 in AZ. One of, the if not the premier units for taking a trophy bull during the rut. I will set up a camp and take the full 2 week season if needed. |

the 8 ga bug is a bad bug to have..i ve had it since i heard about the big guns...now you have got me excited about the hunt...you will need to get a note book and keep up with the details...this will make for a great storey..i can see that elk now in the parker pages with all the details...ya know tom armbrust s friend took a big bull buffalo with a big 8 ga double rifle a few years back... i can see that big 8 ga leaned up against that elk rite now.. which gun have you chosen for the big hunt...you will have to measure the muzzle end real good and have amould made for that size..a fellow in england made my mold he makes them out of brass ..quality piece of work andputs your name oin it..think i gave about 55 dollars shipping and all... yep think i still got the fever too... charlie
