milt i see you have joined the long range gun group..these old tens are sure awsome..looks like you have a nice gun to start with youre rite these old guns dont kick much with 1 1/4 ounce or less they are quite pleasant to shoot...if you decide to reload it will cut down on the price of shells..as pete pointed out youre in the rite crouwd now.... charlie

There's a nice Thomas Bland 10ga hammer gun with the Jones underlever on the web. I know the dealer and I'm not a big bore guy but if it was a 12 I'd have already bought it. Still thinking but reloading another guage isn't something I want to get involved with right now. Briley 12ga tubes might be an option.

I must be rather strange then I like the 10's , 16's and 28's the most . And would relegate the 12's and 20's to the lower shelf so to speak :whistle:

Rich, 12 gauge Briley tubes are not available in the 10. Most of us use chamber inserts. which allow wad sealing in 10 gauge bores and probably in 9 gauge bores.

I buy all my guns on layaway im quite young and don't have to much of a budget . The rem 1894 was 1100$ but 60 day layaway . gunsinternational has a hammer guild gun in perfect condition for 899$ but I decided to go with a
Edwinson C. Green sxs 10 ga serial # 34xx . Ive read Edwinson C. Green was a high grade shotgun maker and he actually sold a o/u patent to purdey . it was the same price as the guild gun but figured id go with something with a reputation behind it .

Charlie I plan to reload after I get my next gun paid for . Was looking at the method that only required reloading with a nail and wooden dowel . I will probably keep to the 1 1/8 oz payload as I like it .

oh yeah briley says they only do 20ga tubes in a 10ga . I asked about 28ga tubes they said they didn't have the aluminum to make those

get a pair of those skeeters gage reducers i think their 40 doolars on gunbroker..i just punch in 10 ga. and they come up..you can get them in the 10 to 12 and 10 to 20..they work well enough for the money... charlie

Charlie gaugemate Is having a closeout sale on their gold gauge adapters 50$ pair . I would probably get them in 16 ga

milt i will look into the gauge mate thing sounds like a bargain...as i look at the 10 ga s i don t no why but i fall in love with all of them... i would like to find one that weighs around 8 pounds if i could i ve got several heavy ones..but like i say i love m all... charlie
