Richard, I don't have anything real unique, but I'll be shooting two 12ga Parker Hammer Guns this coming weekend, a Grade 0 and a Grade 1, both from 1888. You're welcome to measure them if you wish.

Mike

What the hell am I going to do with a 10 ga???
Harold,

If you bring your 10-ga to the SXS, you can shoot it if you wish. I have an 11-ga #2442 that was chambered for 10-ga shells. I bought a set of lil skeeters chamber inserts that convert the chambers from 10-ga shells to 12-ga shells. I have also found a great recipe giving low pressure.
AA Hull
1 1/8 oz #8 or 7 1/2 shot
18 gr. Green Dot powder
PC red wad
1090 ft/sec at only 7,300 psi

If you want to shoot your new 10-ga, I will be happy to let you borrow my chamber inserts. I also have a new 11-ga (4005) that is chambered for 12-ga shells that I plan to shoot.

Richard

Harold,

One of my 11-ga Parkers is chambered for 10-ga shells. I bought a set of 10 to 12-ga Lil Skeeters chamber inserts and shoot it with 12-ga shells. If you want to shoot your 10-ga at the SXS, I will be happy to let you use my chamber inserts.

Rich,
thanks for the offer and hope to meet you next week at the Southern. The 10 ga in question is not mine--he wont sell it--yet. I don't think it is in shootable condition currently, needs a firing pin on one side and some other work on the stock. When he pulled it out of the case, it had some rust developing which I took care of for him. Hopefully he will change his mind.

The lifter is from 1878. I'll also have two other 16ga hammerguns with me.
