My goal is to own a grade 3 TL hammer guns in all frame sizes. 10ga in 2,3,4,5 and 6 frame. The O frame 20ga, 1 frame 16ga will be almost impossible as only 4 20's were made and only 22 16's. The hunt is half the fun!!

I think theres a grade 3 TL #4 frame 10 ga for sale right now .
Not sure its a #4 frame but its almost 11lbs .

The 5 frames seem to be scarce. I have decided not to seek a 20 gauge hammer gun as there are so few and other people want them more.

Ive only been able to find one #5 frame 10 ga .
I wonder whats the heaviest #3 frame 10 ga , ive seen some with barrels in the 6lb range .

Love the guns, but that painting of the prairie Chickens is outstanding!

I'm in the process of a model-21 20ga custom upgrade project. I'm having it engraved with a Prairie bird theme & will feature prairie chickens on the trigger plate.

Thanks Craig!!

WOW VERY VERY nice guns and I love the painting too!!

I particularly like his woodcock & quail. The hunters usually carry a double, but none identifiable

milt i hava a 3 frame 10 ga with 30 inch barrels that weigh 7 lb 14 ounce i seen another 3 frame 10 ga with the same 30 inch barrels that weighed over 8 lbs.....some heavy barrels even in the 3 frames....charlie

I wonder if the larger frame 10 gauges balance the weight better than the heavy barreled #3 frames ? The 2 7/8 10 ga in a 10lb+ gun is very comfortable to me .

the 3 frame 10 with barrels in the 5 lb to 6 1/2 pounnd balance well for me my heavy barrel gun does not balance well at all....maybe if barrels are kept long 32 to 36 inches they may do well......a heavy gun was really made to come up over head for ducks and geese so balance is not really that important....
