Underlifter Parkers at SXS

[Harold Pickens]

I have been trying to get my friend to sell me his underlever 10. He says he will never, ever shoot it--and it needs ALOT of work/restoration. I may bring it to the Southern just to get an idea from some of you knowledgable folks as to its value and what it would take to put it back into shape.
What the hell am I going to do with a 10 ga???

Harold,

If you bring your 10-ga to the SXS, you can shoot it if you wish. I have an 11-ga #2442 that was chambered for 10-ga shells. I bought a set of lil skeeters chamber inserts that convert the chambers from 10-ga shells to 12-ga shells. I have also found a great recipe giving low pressure.
AA Hull
1 1/8 oz #8 or 7 1/2 shot
18 gr. Green Dot powder
PC red wad
1090 ft/sec at only 7,300 psi

If you want to shoot your new 10-ga, I will be happy to let you borrow my chamber inserts. I also have a new 11-ga (4005) that is chambered for 12-ga shells that I plan to shoot.

Harold,

One of my 11-ga Parkers is chambered for 10-ga shells. I bought a set of 10 to 12-ga Lil Skeeters chamber inserts and shoot it with 12-ga shells. If you want to shoot your 10-ga at the SXS, I will be happy to let you use my chamber inserts.
