10 guage question
 

I am going to an auction and I see they have a 10 guage double on the lot. The serial is 31849. Also see some foxes and Ithacas.

and the question is??

that serial number should be wearing 32" plain twist barrels and a straight stock

Is it s valuable or desirable gun? Not sure on a hammer gun. Look to be in great shape.

Tom, its value depends on grade and condition. Its desirability to you depends on what you intend to use it for. Rule of thumb is that value goes up as the gauge goes down... that's a generality but if you like it and it 'speaks' to you and you think it will fill a need then go ahead and buy it.

yes if you buy it for a shooter the big ten will be a better long range gun in most cases...charlie

Bucket list item:
Kill a goose with a Parker 10 Gauge. Make into Christmas dinner.

hope you get your bucket list wish done...the big ten s will get that goose for your dinner...charlie
