Sad News For Big Bore Fans.....
 

Gunmaker Alan Myers, the UK guru of big bore shotguns has passed away at age 72. Just heard from a mutual friend a few minutes ago. Very sad news, there was nobody living that knew more about large bore shotguns / punt guns than Alan. He made some unreal fowling pieces over the years including multiple 2 bore single shot shoulder guns, a 4 gauge hammerless ejector, and countless others including a massive double barrel breech loading punt gun. He had what was likely the only 4 gauge loading presses in the world and supplied the only factory 4 gauge ammunition available anywhere.

That is sad news

Sorry to hear, we lost a lot of history with his passing.

so sorry...i have never met him but i read a lot of things written about him and the big bore stuff he had made....he sure made his mark in the big bore world...he will be missed...charlie

The effort he put into his ammunition boxes alone was impressive , the ones ive seen looked period correct beside a vintage sxs .

i have a coupla of his shells loaded in 4 gauge red plastic hulls....talked with him a coupla times always very cfriedly and polite...charlie
