4-Bore 4.5" Case? #290245 08/22/12 08:53 PM

OP cjhusn777 Sidelock Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 51 Oregon	I have heard that there is a 4-Bore 4.5" case, is this true? I know that there is a 4.25" case, but have always wondered about anything bigger. Has anyone heard or seen any evidence of a 4-Bore that uses a 4.5" case? Thanks You Charlie

He is a very helpful and knowledgable gent, especially when it comes to bore rifles. I knew about his 600 NE book, but am glad to hear he is coming out with a Bore Rifle book. Thank You, Charlie

He did say there were 4 bore rifles with 5" chambers, 3 3/4", and one 3.5" that he had seen and I believe he should be covering them in his new Bore Rifle book. Said it will be a month or two before it is out. Charlie Last edited by cjhusn777; 08/23/12 02:42 AM.

All that showed up was links to diffeent forums where someone had talked of his work. Would you happen to have an email address for him? Thank You, Charlie
