My presnt 8 bore project.
Here's my 8ga. Strong Firearms Co. cannon. It was made approximately 1890.
The barrel was all a friend had, and he generously gave it to me. In order to make all the bits and pieces, I borrowed the 4ga. Brown from another good friend, to use as a guide. It is an incredibly beautiful piece of workmanship, with the most unique breech. Brown was the predecessor of Strong.
Both cannons were made in New Haven CT, a few hundred yards from the Winchester plant
