Well done mate!
Warms my heart to see these things going to a good home.

Can you use it in the hunting field? We are limited to 10-bore max on the swamps in Australia's Northern Territory.

For birds we are also limited on 10 bore. It can be used on vermin and varmints such as coyote. I believe some states allow it for turkeys.

Shot for turkeys and/or vermin called in, as in coyotes and wolves.
8 bores, being over 20mm are now prohibited in Canada. Of course, this gun being a true antique and not having factory ammo readily available, there might be some lee-way there.

I might make an adapter for 10 gauge to 8 bore for ducks. But, I'll load up some 8 gauge just for plinking. lol
