Re: 8 bore vs 4 bore

Hi Daryl
Thankyou for that information.
Well unfortunately i have not come across any such 8's. Most seem to have barrels ranging from 30" to 36"
So,tell me.......
My eye has caught upon a Freer 8g double,for a measly sum.(£600) now the barrels are some 33.5" long......and yet that one you have handled yourself,though a muzzle gun,was longer,right? Even so,given that this be a shotgun, and a jones underlever as almost all 8's and 4's are,(and larger) would i make myself an excellent ball rifle merely by having the barrels cut down, and a rear sight added? Do you know of this maker? i barely remember the name......god knows from where.
The jones underlever is amazingly strong and features on all these guns,rifles and shotguns, and i take as being the strongest action at the time. The Greener cross-bolt being second strongest,no?
Cheerio and thankyou.
Ben
