That is cool! I have never seen that semi-auto. At first glance I thought that was Daryl.

I found that picture on a English wildfowling forum I like reading on , they have quite a few guys on there who hunt with 8 gauges . I think they said 3 or so of those semi autos were built but they dont know where they ended up .

I suppose a semi auto 8 gauge isnt too crazy when you think of the pump action 4 gauge the Russians used to make lol .

Dean I have not shot this gun yet but it does weigh nearly 13 lbs, that might tone down the recoil.

I'd have to see a picture of one to believe it's uglier than that Browning I pictured.

Been thumbing through old Sporting Classics before they get recycled and found this in March/April 1988 from our late friend --
