Finding an 8 gauge is not difficult. In the last year Rock Island Auction has sold a bunch of both single barrel and doubles over a large price range. All of the singles have been British makers as have most of the doubles.
8 gauge doubles from American makers come to market occasionally but are on the pricey side.

I’ve had several single barrel hammer 8’s with Jones underlever in my hands in the last eight or so months . All but one were for sale .
