I have snagged 2 Parker 10 gauges this year and came close to 3. Lost count on how many I have

what tom said is my way of thinking too...shooting a parker 10 and loading my own shells most of the time and with a little imagination i too can change time back over a 100 years or more if need be....charlie

Short Ten
The challenge of finding a short ten, putting it right to shoot, finding hulls and reloading with a roll crimper has been enjoyable as well as challenging. It has been much easier with the expertise of members here. I was extremely lucky to land a grade 5 top lever 4 frame. I had passed on the short tens for many years because of different reasons including ammo, weight, and application. It is now my new Parker endeavor and I am looking for the next one. I only wish I would have started sooner.

Short tens are out there and with a little patience, one will eventually turn up that hasn't been abused or molested. I watch the market closely and will grab any unmolested 10 bore I see, regardless of the grade. |

I probably missed it somewhere in the thread or site. Where can one find Sherman Bell's article on the Short Ten? I have really enjoyed using my EH on geese over the past several seasons. I'm reluctantly considering going down the reloading path.

Tom is right. A grade 5 on a 4-frame would be quite a find. I was lucky enough to find a grade 3 on a 4-frame. Personally, I think tens are undervalued. There some good ones out there.

Can anyone recommend a gunsmith near Idaho to check out a 1884 grade 2 10 bore?
The action is tight but there is pitting of course. |

I've got a pretty nice lifter that's a short ten upland gun. It's a great pleasure on preserve pheasants.
