Magnum 10 Announcement 1.jpg Magnum 10 Announcement 2.jpeg National Sportsman, Aug. 1933.jpeg Back in the day that most of the 2-frame Parker Bros. 3-inch 20-gauge guns were made the 3-inch 20-gauge shell carried the same 7/8 ounce of shot as the 2 1/2 inch shell, just a bit more powder and more/better wadding. 20-gauge 3-inch Rem-UMC Arrow.jpg While the Olin brothers were playing with heavily loaded 3-inch 20-gauge shells considerably earlier, the 3-inch Magnum 20-gauge wasn't introduced to the public until late 1954. |

my dad ordered one of the big ten gauges in1962.. it was a spanish built gun double barrel...that thingreall killed ducks and turkeys at unreal distances but it kicked like a mule..my dad liked big shot like bb and no 2 when it hit a duck with the bb loads it looked like you had shot the duck with a 22 rifle...my dad finally sold the big double ten and bought the first ithaca mag ten in our area...he hunted with this gun tillarutheritis got him to where he could not handle the gun...he gave it to me i still hunt with it from time to time...but i am also at the point of not being able to handle it well...the big ten will always have a place in my house....charlie

I love the big guns and big loads, but mostly for the shock and awe value of having them go bang. For day to day duck hunting, I have found an easy to handle 12 gauge to do just about anything I need it to do. And that is outshoot the folks with steel shot and modern autos
My LC Smith Long Range is a great mix of a lightweight 12 built for strong shells. I would love to have a comparable Parker 12 |
