Most eights are 3 1/4" chamber, but my Greener Royal is nitro proofed for 3 3/4" shells and 2 1/2 ounces of shot. I have not yet shot game with the Daly or the Greener. However, the geese are flying lower over the house every day.

bill thats a lot of gun...i believe i would have the 8 setting handy incase...a gun like you have is not seen very often....i watch the tube for 8 s and 4 s they just dont come along to often especially with 3 3/4 chambers...that gun would probably fire 3 ounce of shot ok....ive put a few loads of 3 ounce through destreys old fa loomis...but shooting paper targets it dont take long to use up a pound of shot....in my collection of old brass shells i picked up a 4 inch some where....charlie

My Super Fox with 32 inch barrels choked full & full weighs in at 10 pounds 4 ounces.

Best Regards, George

Thanks Francis for them kind words. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Southern. I am bringing the 4 bore E.M. Reilly if I can get RST to make me up some shells by then. (That is if they'll let me shoot it there)

Best Regards as Always, George

George, they will let you shoot it there. Four bore rifles are commonly shot in the "milk bottle pit" and our hero Destry shot eight bores at the long bird competition several years back. Eight bore guns have been shot in the Parker versus L.C. Smith Challenge also. Jim Hall was an eight bore shooter in the Challenge. Keep us informed on the four bore ammunition production. There are other four bore owners in PGCA who would be interested.

george is this e m riely a shotgun or rifle...if i was needing ammo i would contact tom armbrust he is the man to contact for 4 bore and 8 gauge ammo...has a really good book out the 4 and 8 and has lot of reloading info for these big bores.... charlie

Charlie,

It's a rifle that's been bored out to a shotgun, I've got 10 gauge guns that are heavier. George thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and is asking $40,000 for it.

George,

You let us know if you have any success with the RST boys on the 4 gauge ammo. Last account I had they were only doing it up to 10 gauge. As Charlie says, Armbrust is the guy to talk to as I've probably mentioned before. The cases are what's tough, they just aren't out there to be bought.

My 2E Smith at 2 lbs. less
 

-- But with 32" Full & Full and factory ventilated rib, is now easier for me at age 70 to handle- but a Super fox HE is still a "Super" waterfowling gun-- You have good taste George, my friend!

Francis, my old pre 1913 vent rib 32" Smith is the best handling 32" gun I've ever shot. I guess we must have the only two factory pre-13 32" vent rib Smiths out there. I had never seen or heard of another until I heard about yours. Smith did just a wonderful job on my barrels. Most Smith vent rib guns are such pigs with big ugly beavertails and thick trap stocks.

tthat super fox at 10 lbs weighs more than most 10 ga of that time period...i lnow these guns were made for water fowling but wouldnt be grand to have a big gobbler sighted in.... charlie
