seems they usually sell for around 1500$ which is what that one on GI sold for . I remember seeing a thread on another site . A fellow bought a sawed off 8 ga Davenport with some loaded industrial ammo that would chamber it in . He planned to shoot it like that .... Wonder how that turned out .
I have seen some Davenport and H Allen 10 gauges but they seem to only sell for a fraction of the 8 gauges . From what ive gathered the Allen guns are the same as the Davenports .
The Davenports seem pretty light for a 8 gauge all the ones I have seen are around 10lbs . Their barrels are pretty thick one I seen had .120 minimal wall thickness .
