Great Pictures of 4 bore for sale!
I saw these great pictures at Cabelas of Safari Kids 4 bore. They really show great detail of a truly awesome gun. The weight is 26 lbs not 29 lbs as listed. Ken Owen only made 6 of these total, and he is not making anymore.

The receiver and metalwork is fully engraved by A.B. Bradshaw, and features a Mastodon, sabre tooth tigers, and assorted dinosaurs. It is our understanding that Owen built only five of these, and that he will make no more.


And that's the extent of the thing's practicality-dinosaurs and mastodons. I suppose it COULD be used as a prop in the Lost World films.....

Well the gun does not look all that great with the engraving bunched all together with side plates oddly shaped.

It also has a poor pistol grip design by where the pistol grip projects down below the bottom of the stock, not pleasing to the eye and not acceptable on good guns. The cheak piece too comes down too far near the bottom of the stock.

A gun like that would never come out of a custom
top grade english shop. Ah; beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
