Hello all, I am new here and am interested in bore/gauge guns and rifles, specifically 10-Bore and bigger. I do not own one, but it has been a dream of mine to own and/or shoot one of these bone crushers for quite some time. Maybe someday. I was wondering if anyone here owned a H&H or Greener 8-Bore, specifically ball guns? I would like to know about these rifles from people who own them and shoot them. I have read much about them in Greener's 'The Gun and Its Development', 'Holland and Holland: The Royal Gunmaker', also The Paradox gun book, and have researched them extensively over the years. If you have info, specifications like barrel length, charge in drams/grains, chamber length, year finished, etc. that would be great! If pictures can be posted that would be awesome as well.

Thanks in advance!

I have some good news for you. Cal Pappas has put together a book on bore rifles. Should be available in the next few weeks, lots of photos and specs.

You can contact Cal and ask questions thru his website too.

Hey AkMike,

PM,

Wow, what a wonderful Paradox! Is it an earlier one? Thank you for the book recomendation!

AkMike,

Thanks for the link.

PM,

Is that something like this?





That's a 4 bore!

The beast that kicks!

Everything from a 4 bore down to a 450 NE, a 9.3X74R and a 30-06.

Some of the old iron up here.

Giving a single four to a newbie with a full power load!!! Does the cold help?



These single fours are capable of generating more than 200ftlbs of recoil!
Ahh the old days
