A few years ago, eight gauge Davenports were plentiful and very cheap. Now they are scarce as hen's teeth and very expensive. I bought mine at a Virginia show a few years ago, came back the next day to buy the dealer's stash of eight gauge ammunition and it was long gone. I probably got the gun just in time.

seems they usually sell for around 1500$ which is what that one on GI sold for . I remember seeing a thread on another site . A fellow bought a sawed off 8 ga Davenport with some loaded industrial ammo that would chamber it in . He planned to shoot it like that .... Wonder how that turned out .

I have seen some Davenport and H Allen 10 gauges but they seem to only sell for a fraction of the 8 gauges . From what ive gathered the Allen guns are the same as the Davenports .

The Davenports seem pretty light for a 8 gauge all the ones I have seen are around 10lbs . Their barrels are pretty thick one I seen had .120 minimal wall thickness .
