I posted a Lefever 410 on the for sale forum and it is still available. I hope you give it a look. Thomas

I just saw your not a member so you can't buy on our for sale forum. Thomas

Check again :)

I shoot my 410 SXS Francotte's, and shoot #9's for dove and pen raised birds. Mainly because I ended up with about two flats of 9's. I prefer to shoot 6's and 7 1/2's on wild quail. Can be fun to shoot the 410, but my go to guns generally are 20 gauges.

This year, just for the heck of it and because I am not sure how much longer I can walk my farm hills, I am going to try for partridge with my .410 Taurus Judge. A pretty good pattern at 10 yards will do the job if I do my job.

A friend of mine purchased a 42 skeet with fancy wood and an aftermarket rib at a local gun auction for $1200. He made quite a buy as it is in pristine condition but is choked and marked skeet. They must have tightened up skeet chokes as he uses it for 5-stand where targets are often further than the 21 yard skeet target and it smashes targets with authority. l've shot it some and have to admit it is a bunch of fun to play around with.

Im considering moving some stuf around to get an Lc smith in 410, not sure if I want to sacrifice my pre war Rigby in 375 h&h though.

My first .410-bore was a Winchester Model 42 Skeet Gun two barrel and magazine set that jumped out of a pawn shop in Denver in 1970 and begged me to take it home. One barrel and magazine 26-inch SKEET and the other 26-inch with a Cutts. While stationed in San Diego the Cutts barrel got swapped out for a 28-inch modified barrel a local gunsmith had. In the early 1970s I shot Doves, Quail and quite a few Rabbits with it, but mostly skeet targets. I haven't fired a .410-bore shot at game since 1973, but shoot a lot of .410 at clay targets. Also own a Winchester 23 Classic, a Crescent Fire Arms Co. New Empire, a Field Grade Ithaca NID, a Browning Superposed .410-bore New Model Skeet Gun, .410-bore tubes for my Remington Model 3200 Skeet Gun, and my latest toy an RBL-410 --

Lots of fun to be had with the .410-bore.

I just looked on Tony's website and it appears that he truly does not have any .410 RBLs to sell. Dave had the gumption to order one at the inflated price and now he has a great gun. I would love to have one, but I missed the boat.

I'd love to have a high-grade Parker .410 or perhaps a CSMC Fox DE Special in .410, but that ain't gonna happen unless I were to win the Powerball and more importantly--get it past the Mrs.! Until the impossible happens, either one of my 28-ga. Parker Reproductions with a set of 28-.410 Chambermates will have to do:

Or---another .410 I picked up late last fall is a Dickinson (not made in America, but sold by an American company) that I'm having a ball shooting targets with and will be carried a bit this fall for Grouse and Woodcock. One could actually make an argument as this being a contender for best value in a gun for the money. Where else can you buy a brand new scaled-frame .410 with a trigger plate action, platform lump barrels, chrome lined bores, Southgate ejectors, bone-charcoal casehardening, engraved, hand checkered, non-automatic safety, Turkish Walnut, etc. for just $1300?
