Eric, is right 1881 0 grade 32" barrels. Enjoy it, guns in that number rage seem to fit and shoot better than the others at least for me.

What is the best load to use with this gun? I know modern ammo is out of the question.
Thanks! |

The T with the crescents above and below it is the designation stamp for Twist Steel barrels. The 5 and superscript 13 is the weight of the barrels prior to striking... 5 lb., 13 oz.
I've never seen the A L E before and have no idea what it means. .

I had the same thing happen to me , I purchased the gun paying for a non matching # parts gun , and after owning the gun for over 5 years found under much rust the matching serial # on the barrel right where it belonged , under much rust!
Great find Dave Kerns #1691 |

With any old gun make sure that it is safe before you use it. When in doubt contact a qualified SXS gunsmith to inspect it. As for ammo for an old 10, RST makes 10 gauge shells that are suitable. Ballistic Products has several loads listed in their manual that i use. A 10 is fun to shoot!
