Where to get a 4 bore made

[Thumper Mcgee]

Out of pure curiosity who would you go to, to enquire about a 4 bore being built

 

[sestoppelman]

You mean where?

@SAFARIKIDD

That’s the only owner of a 4 bore that I am aware of..

 

[Thumper Mcgee]

You mean where?

yeah like who would you contact to get one built

Not sure who the person is in the video.
But maybe you can send them a message via YouTube.
He starts talking about the rifle at 8:45.
I don't see him shoot it in this particular video.

Ken Owen

As of mid year 2019 he was still gunsmithing and making rifles... not 100% certain of his status today...

That is @SAFARIKIDD

I’m pretty certain Ken Owen made his rifle

Thought it was, but wasn't positive.

I haven't seen that many of his 4 bores come up for sale, I guess people like them. Here are some close up pictures of the one I think SAFARIKIDD owns www.sitemason.com/page/fDPJHG

"were" to get a 4 bore made, your title...​

I know what you meant,,​

 

[deewayne2003]

I've seen a single shot that JJ @ Champlins made a new modern barrel for; but I do not know about a full gun.

Ken Owen did recently do some work on my .470ne and he mentioned that he liked making .577 & 600's; but I do not know if he is making full rifles although it never hurts to ask, he's a great guy.

I would suspect that Holland & Holland, would make whatever your heart desires, if your pockets are deep enough...

Peter Hofer, 2000 grain projectile though the gun weighs 27.5 lbs. You will need a strong bearer.

@SAFARIKIDD had a gun bearer in the video.
And had a leather sling for the bearer to wear.
It had a pouch at the bottom to hold the butt of the rifle.

 

[calling4life]

Boy these things are gorgeous, 26lbs or not, hope you can find what you want.

do you guys know if Holland and Holland will still make them

@Thumper Mcgee
Unfortunately , they will not .

Westley Richards shall build you a 4 bore drop-lock double barreled side by side shotgun . Watson Brothers shall build you either a rifle or a shotgun , depending upon your requirements . Butch Searcy ( a California based gun maker ) will build you a 4 bore rifle .
