[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1141030, member: 6145"] in 1973 i was in college in fayetville AR. there was a pawn shop on hwy 71 that had gobbs of old hammered pumps 12 gauge, and i think single shot 10 and 8 gauge shotguns. he told me that 8 gauge were used for commercial purposes. a hunter would find ducks on water or a covey of quail, sneak up and shoot while they were grounded. purpose was to get as much meat as possible. it was a commercial enterprise not for hunting. anyway, the 8 gauge looked huge next to the 12 gauge. after college i got a job, saved up some money, and went back with the purpose of buying one of those 8 gauges. everything was gone. the size of the bore really impressed me.
