Just took possession of a #3 frame DH with 32" sleeved barrels and new wood. It has 3 1/2" chambers but not sure I want to go there yet, ordered some 2 7/8" #6's to get a feel for the gun. Gun was born in 1888 weighs 9.4 pounds but points like a bird gun, can't wait to try it out.

Scott, tell us about your sleeved ten. Who did the work? What kind of markings does it have concerning the sleeving? My DH sleeved ten is a Lefever Arms job with their marking on the rib.

Will look again tonight but do not remember seeing anything but the normal markings, gun came from the estate of an old live bird shooter but have no idea who did the work. Whoever did the work the original ribs were retained and you have to look hard and have correct light to see the joint lines.

Every gun in the collection was 30" or more and full/fuller, also purchased a 30" GH 12 and a 30" VHE 16. Tried the 16 on mallards last week with Classic Doubles and loved it.
