| I wonder if you could even get briley tubes. I don't think they make them for a 14 ga. and there is more to it than just turning them down.

The shell for the 14 gauge Model 12 was an all aluminum case with even a thin aluminum top wad. I have one in my collection.

I had Briley put a permanent chamber liner in my 24 ga to create a great 28 ga.
You could have that done for a 16 ga chamber and be in business!

About 20 years ago, I ran across an older fellow that had a Parker. I asked if I could see it and he told me where he lived. The gun was a 14 gauge back action Parker with Laminated Steel barrels. There was a small hole in one of the barrels just past the forend as I remember. He said that he never had used 14 gauge shells in it, but had shot 16 gauge shells out of it for years. I offered him $400.00 and he was holding out for $500.00. I may try to find the house again and see if the old gun is still hanging over the door to the bedroom.

| Daryl, Winchester and UMC both made paper shells for the 14 gauge at one time.The UMC is tan and Winchester is yellow in color. I have one of each. The UMC has Union on the headstamp and Winchester has Repeater. There were probably others, too. Check out Pages 523-524 of TPS on "A" and"B" shells. There was a 12B/14A chambering offered by Parker. Those pages explain it best. Good luck! Bill

This is a German Guild Drilling, chambered for 24ga x 24ga x 6.3mm. Just a smidge over 6 lbs., it is light, sweet, crisp and beautifully made. Great wood, nice engraving - not a Parker, but one of my favorite guns!

| At one point Eley made 14 gauge shells. I have one unfired/never loaded paper hull in my posession that was made by them, but I am not really sure of the vintage.

I had a 14 ga Charles Lancaster hammergun underlever for sale in an ad in the DGJ last year. But, I do not think that there are any shells on the market, at least that I could find  .

| When I'm in the blind with my tens and I run out of shells, I borrow twelves from anyone close. If I had a 14 and couldn't find brass, I'd be shooting 16 gauge shells.

Joe: Glad to know there's more than one J.N. Scotts 14-bore out there. As to value, the gun I have has lots of novelty value, but I have no idea as to monetary value and have $0 dollars in vested; UPS just left a box by the door one day, and inside that box was the Scotts gun. I learned later that a collector friend in New Mexico sent me the gun because he thought I might like it, which I did! I've never shot the gun, but another friend in Alaska has a 14-bore LeFever that he shoots regularly. For his shooting he hand-loads brass cases which are modified 14-bore Greener police cases. The rims on these cases are too thick; so he turns them down to the correct size; then enlarges the primer hole to accept the 209 primer. I don't remember his load receipe; but it has proven very effective given the pics of the grouse and ptarmigan he sends me.
