Below is a list from IGC of Irish gunmakers, smiths and stores. Having just spent a while doing this, please accept that it is not necessarily exhaustive and misses out some considerable additional info on several of the names. However, it gives an idea of the scale of shotgun retail in the time frame we are interested in.
I can of course expand further on some of these names if required.
