I just brought home a PW 375 ten gauge loader, have tons of components as well as more than a few Parker tens, light and heavy. My favorites may turn out to be the 28" lifter guns, very lightly choked and obviously made for birds and close ducks. What fun.

I have a set of 2-feame 30” ten-gauge Damascus barrels with reverse chokes that I fitted to my 1898 2-frame DH.

Jent,
I had a similiar experience with this gun. It was presented as a 12 gauge by the seller and he did not want to hear my opinion that it was a 10.

thanks
Patrick

Harry, I love those .802 bores. No forcing cones to worry about. Bruce, I would love to see the letter on the CH 26" gun. Can you access it for pictures?
