A pair of biguns

[Comfortably_Numb]

Made by Rice. 46 inch oct/rnd by 8 bore with full jugs. 1 5/16 at the breech and 1 inch at the muzzle. Actual bore measurement is .834. Weight is 6lbs each.
These will be turned into a pair of turkey decapitation this winter.

I would have to fit them to a carriage Mike! but those are slick! Turkeys are already just laying down at the thought of them. makes my 11gauge look like a 410!

Wow ! Love to see them when finished. No desire to shoot one but I have no doubt that they will do the job at hand.

Thanks,
O.R.

I like those!!! Fully done they will be what, just a bit over 9 pounds?

 

[Mulebrain]

Nifty

A clever fellow such as yourself could make a double out of those!

I am guessing a full jug would perform similar to a modified? I am curious as to the inner dimension In an 8 gauge.

Cool project. Looking forward to pics.

Very cool.

I'm hoping for ten, but nine is probably realistic. They will be new England club butt fowling guns. Won't even have buttplates.

My double days are long over! The bore measures .834. I would guess there's probably .o45 jug, but I haven't measured it.

I want to know if they're browned or in the white.

Butt plates are wholly overrated... Now where did I here that before....

 

[64Springer]

I like big butt plates and I cannot lie.

Big tall and wide butt and straight comb they probably won't bite the shooter that bad....

Guessing you'd load 2 ounces of shot or there about? With 45 thousandths choke that should reach WAY out there...... This project has my attention, going to be very cool fowlers.
