Yes, there have been 13-gauge shotguns manufactured historically, although they are quite rare. Most shotguns are commonly found in gauges such as 12, 16, 20, and .410. The 13-gauge was produced primarily in the 19th century, but it never gained widespread popularity, leading to its decline and eventual discontinuation in favor of more standard gauges. As a result, 13-gauge shotguns are considered collectors' items today.

Was there ever a 13 gauge shotgun made?

Yes, there were 13-gauge shotguns made, but they are quite rare and not commonly found today. The 13-gauge was primarily produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mainly in Europe. Most shotguns are manufactured in more standard gauges like 12, 16, and 20, which has contributed to the 13-gauge's obscurity in modern times.


What is the origin of shotgun shot size. I know Gauge is the number of balls in a pound of lead. Where did shot size come from?

Shotgun gauge diameter is determined by how many balls of lead the diameter of that gauge will equal one pound. Thus it takes 10 lead balls of 10 gauge diameter to equal one pound of weight. And 16 lead balls of 16 gauge diameter to equal one pound.Thats why the gauge number decreases when the diameter increases. SHOT SIZE It seems the history of shot size is uncertain. There are at least 24 different methods of determining shot size around the world. The method used in the USA currently is to subtract the shot size number from 17 and that number is the diameter in hundredths of an inch. Thus #4 shot would be 17-4=13 or .13" in diameter. Why 17, I cant find anyone who knows, so anybody know?
