8 to 10
 
theres always talk of sending a 20 ga back to have 28 ga barrels added to it or a 12 ga to 16 gain other words a lot of these gauges had extra barrels added to differant gauges...my question is was there ever a 8 ga that had added barrels of a differant ga to it...i v been meaning to ask this question for a while...charlie

Yes. My 8 gauge has 10 gauge barrels for it somewhere. Wish I could say I have them

There are 6-frame 10 gauge guns that make us wonder, but there are no records to support a barrel change.

I remember seeing a #6 frame P grade at a gun show in Northern Va a few years back.

Gun was an eight gauge then sent back for 34" fluid steel 3 1/2 " chambered 10 gauge barrels added to it. If memory serves me the 10 gauge barrels were stamped 8 14.

I believe one of our members now has that gun and makes reference to her from time to time.

I dont see why not. Especially after the 8g ban on waterfowl rendered the guns to be for such limited use.

There were no records on my second set of 10 gauge barrels, but in the 2006 Julia auction, my 8 gauge had some 10 gauge fluid steel barrels which were serial numbered to the gun

What happened to them Mills?

Mills Morrison 12-13-2016 11:35 AM

I don't know, but would like to. I bought it from Puglisi and they did not have the 10 gauge barrels. I presume it changed hands a time or two between Julia's and Puglisi and somebody kept the extra barrels.

My #6 frame Vulcan Steel ten gauge was made as a composite barrel 8 gauge. It is the gun Dr. Pruitt refers to.
