Where can you buy an 8 gauge shotgun?

About the only place would be an antiques auction, or a high-end custom gunmaker could make one to order. 8 gauge was never a common shotgun, and today is virtually nonexistent. The switch to smokeless powder and the demise of commercial hunting pretty much did away with all gauges over 12. call 850-742-0288 Don has an Old W. Moore with Hammers.

What is the difference between a 12 guage shotgun and a 20 guage?

A 12 gauge shotgun is determined by the fact that 12 solid balls of lead will fit into the bore of the gun and thus these 12 solid balls of lead will equal a pound. Likewise, it takes 20 solid balls of lead fitting into the barrel of a 20 gauge shotgun to equal a pound. 10 solid balls of lead that equal a pound fitting in the bore of a shotgun would make that a 10 gauge, like wise a 16 gauge and a 28 gauge. There have been 8 gauge guns but an exception to all this is the 410 which is not a gauge but a caliber. The caliber of a 410 shotgun is .410 or there a bouts. Some research on your part will help you understand more if your desire but you can see that smaller balls make gauges with larger numbers and therefore, a larger number gauge like 20 will shoot shells that are smaller in diameter than those shot in a 12 gauge.
