Whillikers! A No. 7 frame 8 gauge. This must have been added within the past few days:shock:

[Destry L. Hoffard]

A 7 frame with 32 inch barrels and .006 chokes makes it sound like the tubes might have been a bit longer at one time.....

DLH

[Mark Landskov]

I kinda wondered about the chokes and barrel length.....:corn:

[George M. Purtill]

Shortened tubes on an 8 gauge- sounds like an 8 bore skeet gun for you Charlie!!!

[charlie cleveland]

im lookin at this old gal rite at this moment...i bet you could hit them clays away out there...good lookin old gun aint she...would love to shoot the old 8 ga... charlie

[George M. Purtill]

Sell the farm Charlie- she's calling your name.

[Paul Plager]

Charlie, loan me some money so I can buy it. I promise I'll let you hunt chipmunks with it atleast once.:whistle:

[charlie cleveland]

we ll just have to charge it to the ground when it rains it will settle it... charlie

[Bill Murphy]

Someone should inquire about the serial number so the barrel length can be proved right or wrong.

[edgarspencer]

I'm exhausted just looking at that gun.

[charlie cleveland]

bills rite maybe we can get a serial no and find the lenth of these barrels..im beginning to believe that most 8 ga were not choked as tight as the smaller bores just my opinion...ray marzerellia spoke of this in another thread.sorry bout the spelling ray...whats your imput on this bill...do you think the 8 ga were choked as tight as smaller bore guns...bet destrey can help us out here too...never thought much about this but ive read a lot about the english 8 bores and look at their gun sites and most of them are choked modiefied down to about imp cly..they use 3/4 choke or 1/4 choke on most barrel markings...this would be an interesting articule in parker pages.... charlie

a lot of the numbers are missing from the book, but if you browse through the few 153xxx 8 gauges listed in the book, most are D or 3 grade - one is a 2 grade - all the listed ones are 36 inch barrels.

I have a DH 8 ga with 32" barrels straight grip stock that some of the members have seen and it letters as such oh and it has a flat rib.

Be still my heart!!

[calvin humburg]

Eric what frame size. That is a very neet gun.

[Bill Zachow]

My 36" PH is choked 41/000 left, 44/000 right. I do not know the chokes on my 34" hammered V equivalent, bit the barrel ends are very thick, so I'm assuming full chokes also.

It's on a 6 frame

[charlie cleveland]

One of our members has a hammer D grade Titanic barrel eight with 36 inch barrels bored cylinder and full, from the factory. I don't know what the gun was ordered to shoot at, but it was delivered to an address in Death Valley.
