8 bore or maybe even a 4 bore single rifle build

Hello all.

Quite a number of years ago I had the idea to build a big single shot bore rifle. I put some serious thought into it, put some ideas and sketch's down on paper and all, but then life got in the way and the project was shelved and eventually forgotten about.

Then, after reading AkMike's NT Buff post and seeing Omnivourous Bob's impressive results with his mighty 4 bore, I believe the bug has bitten again.

Some years ago Century Arms in Victoria (John Saunders) built a break barrel 4 bore. Does anyone have any photos or details of that rifle they would care to share? The finished rifle was written up in the "Australian Outdoors" magazine (I think). Does anyone have a copy of the article they could scan and send. That actual rifle is for sale at the moment but the photos on the ad are small and lack the detail I'm looking for.

Photos of any other big single barrel bore guns/rifles would be much appreciated as well. Photos give ideas, perspective and proportion.

I'm not sure if I want a break barrel or a falling block yet, but thats a minor detail as I can make either.

I'm just in the initial ideas stage at the moment, but any help here would be great.

Just trying to scratch the itch

Many thanks

Best
ALEX
