A 10 gauge for Charlie
Charlie what do you think about a 14lb 10 gauge double ?
I seen this last year and wanted to get it because a 14lb 10 gauge has to have some crazy thick barrels on it . The seller was asking 5,000$ a few months ago but has since come way down . https://www.gunbroker.com/item/851801947 |
Holy cow!

There was a article I think in dogs and doubles ? , where someone was doing that on heavy spanish 10 ga sxs's . I was just thinking how soft that thing would shoot with RSTs 2 7/8 loads haha . |
with the steel used in some of the 50's/60's Spanish guns- can't be thick enough

Heres the one I was referring to being a reamed out Spanish 10 ga http://www.dogsanddoubles.com/2019/0...sxs-plus-ammo/ I knew a gunsmith who used to make 8 gauge barrels from the H&R single shot 10 gauges , he said he proof tested them to 22k psi but stopped there which is well above what shotguns produced . He said it was too expensive though reaming the bores and getting the bore smooth enough . It wasnt a good business venture to spend 600$ reaming and polishing a 200$ shotgun . Still a 14lb 10 gauge is pretty hefty , I think the heavy Spanish ones are usually what around 11lbs ? |
Still over priced by a factor of four!

This is probably the nicest Spanish 10 gauge I have seen however https://www.gunsinternational.com/gu...n_id=101312697 |
Look I know I'm way way snobby about guns I like . But that thing has got to feel like a 4x6 that's about 5 feet long or in other words swing and balance like a log :whistle:

i m like you the barrels must be pretty thick on that gun to weigh 14 lbs...i like looking at the guns and talking about them...but i m not young any more and its hard for me to handle these big guns even though i still try to shoot then once in awhile....keep posting about these big guns you seem to have a knack about finding them...charlie
