I'm sure it will fit in your carry one, if you need to shorten the barrels, we can weld the barrels up when you get there

You’re welcome to shoot either of mine if you’d like .

I would suggest they need to make an 8 gauge event on the course at Sanford but I dunno if I wanna lug that big brute around that place or not .

I will definitely bring my 8's to Hausmann's. Sorry I couldn't make it but my travel companions didn't want to leave Rochester in a snow storm making a 11 hour drive even longer plus rain was predicted in Sanford Saturday.

How does one even track down an old 8 gauge? I've always wanted one but have never even seen one in person, a double would be awesome but I'd be more likely to afford a single like a Davenport, Shattuck or other.

I saw an old western movie over the weekend. A deputy sheriff carried an 8 gauge double with what appeared 36 in barrels, could have been a Parker, took out a lot of bad guys!

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 have started a Private Group 8 gauge Facebook page at

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 .
