I bought a set of 30" Damascus 2-frame 10 gauge barrels that were made for a 2 frame. They are reverse choked with Full on the right barrel and Light Mod on the left. I am in the process of fitting them to my 2-frame 1898 DH which came with 30" F/F Titanic barrels. I also had Russ Bickel fit a set of Damascus 30" M/F barrels to this gun... and I also have a set of 26" 2-frame Titanic barrels that are very close and they will be the next set to be fitted to the gun. I don't even know why I'm doing it, besides the fact that it's fun!

The chamber walls on that gun made it the scariest Parker I have ever seen. My #2 frame 27" ten DH weighs 7 pounds 4 ounces. Tens on the #4 frame were all hammer guns in my experience. #6 frame hammerless tens are very scarce, but not unique by any means. I have one in fluid steel that was rebarreled at Parker Brothers when the original 8 gauge barrels were declared illegal for migratory birds.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but how much would a 10 ga on a #6 frame go for ?
this is the 10lb 3/4 10 gauge I was talking about http://puglisiguns.cloudapp.net/inventory/Ant38175

I was thinking maybe its a #4 frame but I guess that barrel weights different from gun to gun and this could just be a heavy barrel #3 ?

the 10 ga #6 frame I seen on here I swore was a hammer gun ?
I would think with modern steel you could safely build a 10 ga on such a small frame ? like the #1 you mentioned . I know nothing about how fluid steel from that era compares to whats used these days .

Im going to be in the price range of around 5,000$ when I get ready to buy my next sxs and im looking at 10s and 3 8 gauges I found for sale .
If its a 10 I would like to find one thats different like the ones built on larger frames or longer barrels if I can find one in that 5k price range .
I want to get my first parkers but If i find a long barrel 8 gauge double than I will end up with that . Which I have recently found one 36" tubes for 5100$ .
I love 32" barrels on my 10s but my dream gun is a 36" sxs 8 gauge .

Also Ive read that parker made a #5 and #7 frame size what are these guns ? I tried to google them but couldnt find anything .

I would love to see a #2 barrel 10 ga compared to a #3 10 gauge barrel set .
I would think that the biggest difference would they would perhaps be more meat or less taper to the barrels for more strength ?

It is a heavy set of barrels... heck, the gun is way out of balance with them but it really doesn't matter in a turkey blind or goose pit.

Sounds like the bonehill 10 ga I had the barrels on it were massive and the muzzles had alot of meat in them. I stumbled across two identical bonehills today and the temptation to get one later on is too great . From what I have gathered usually when you see a 10 gauge thats over 10lbs they seem to have meatier barrels than the 9lb guns .

An upland 10 would be a 2 frame 10 with 26 or 28” barrels.

Does anyone know if any 8 gauges were built on a #3 frame ?
I was thinking if a 10ga and be built on a 12 ga frame then a 8 could have been built on a 10 frame ?

does anyone know the barrel diameter at the face of the 8 gauges and 10s ?

Those two have been on GB for about five years now . I got an EH 2 frame with factory original 28” barrels at an auction little over a year ago in decent shape for a lot less then the 28” cut barrel gun you posted the link to . And yes the 28” gun I have is a bit open it’s not difficult to shoot 98% with it on the skeet field shooting the mild 1 1/8 ounce of shot and 18.6 grains Red Dot load .
