Everyone should click on that photo above.

Those are some really beautiful shotguns. I would love to own a 4-bore like that one day.
 
I once handled a cartridge 4-bore shotgun at a gunshow, made by Mullen (New York). It was huge, and one of the finest guns I've ever seen.

The guns you mentioned are from my collection and are live pigeon guns .These are smaller in size and weight but not in bore size and should not be confused with the same gage fowlers.I have enclosed an image of big bore fowlers ,from top to bottom are 10,8,4. this does show the difference between both types of guns.
