Most of my eights and tens have pretty modern dimensions. My experience in reading Parker orders is that most professional shooters and big bore waterfowlers knew about stock dimensions. My 1887 10 gauge pigeon gun, ordered by Parker shooter W.S. Perry has a drop of 2 1/4. Annie Oakley's guns are even straighter at 2 1/8. Two other graded exposed hammer competition type guns that I have letters for specify 2 3/4" drop. Of course, ungraded guns made for stock often have 3" of drop.
